Ms. King’s 3rd graders conducted their first science experiment of the year, “Saving Sam!”
Students put their collaboration, communication, and problem-solving skills to work as they faced an exciting challenge: save Sam by getting him safely into his “life jacket.” Working together, our young scientists developed strategies, tested their ideas, and made adjustments until Sam was safe.

Parents and Guardians,
As we were preparing to send home yearbooks, we found a lot of misprinted ones. We do have enough correctly printed yearbooks to send home with third through fifth grade students who pre-ordered. These will be sent home on Friday, May 8. Students in kindergarten through second grade who pre-ordered yearbooks will receive them as soon as the correct books arrive. Due to the misprint issue, we are unable to sell yearbooks at this time but will update as soon as possible.
We appreciate your understanding and patience as we wait for the production company to correct this.
Thank you.
