It’s Friday! 🧡🫶🏽😝 Shoutout to Mrs. Wothe and Mrs. Jorda for bringing all the good vibes this morning (& twinning!) ✨
We love when staff recognize one another! 🧡 One of our staff members asked us to share a huge shoutout to Mrs. Robin and the incredible paraprofessionals in her classroom. Watching this team work together is truly something special. They move through the day like a dance while supporting, guiding, and encouraging each student every step of the way. “Through their dedication and the use of Catalyst strategies, the growth happening in this room is absolutely beautiful.” The students’ personalities are shining, and the progress they’ve made is inspiring. We are so lucky to have such a compassionate and committed team supporting our learners every day. 🧡
During recess on Monday, Otto and Adelyn walked around the playground picking up garbage. When asked about what they were doing, they said, "We're helping the Earth!" ❤️ 🌍
Mrs. Ellingson’s first graders enjoyed a special visit from Concordia College dietetics majors to learn how Vitamin A supports healthy vision and growing bodies. Through engaging lessons, students discovered which fruits and vegetables are packed with nutrients and why healthy food choices matter. The visit wrapped up with a fun hands-on tasting featuring papaya, cantaloupe, carrots, and peppers! 🥕✨
Our Ellen Hopkins leadership students proudly donated over $300 to 4 Luv of Dog Rescue! Funds were raised through a lemonade stand during conferences. This project was a wonderful example of student leadership, compassion, and community involvement. By taking initiative and giving back, our students showed how small acts, like a simple cup of lemonade, can add up to meaningful impact. Thank you to everyone who stopped by the stand, donated, and helped our students support a great cause! 💛🫶🏽🐾

Ms.Emanuels class had a “Kindness Olympics”. Students created their own 🏅medal 🏅 and Ms.Emanuel awarded each student a gold medal that had something to do with their character and being kind. We played ceremony music, clapped for our friends, and Ms. Emanuel even announced each award with her microphone. We love celebrating kindness!
