Stay creative this winter with our voluntary January STEAM Family Project! This month, we are challenging students to design or create a snowperson using any items found around the home. Please turn in completed projects to the Media Center by January 30th. There’s SNOW limit to your imagination! We can’t wait to see your COOL creations!
The backpacks are packed, and the alarms are set! 🎒⏰
As our students return to class tomorrow morning after Winter Break, it’s the perfect time for a quick refresher on getting to school safely. Whether you walk, ride, or drive, we all play a part in keeping our school community safe.
Check out these tips to help us all arrive safe:
🚶 WALK SAFE! - Heads Up, Phone Down! Use sidewalks and cross only at corners and crosswalks. Look LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT before crossing. Be seen!
🚲 RIDE SAFE! (Bikes, E-Bikes, & E-Scooters) - Helmet On: It’s the LAW for riders under 16. Obey all stop signs and traffic lights. Ride with traffic and stay bright! Yield to walkers on the sidewalk.
⚡ E-Riders: You are fast and quiet. Drivers don't always expect you—be extra alert and slow down at intersections!
🚌 BUS SAFE! - Wait in a safe place well away from the road. Board or cross ONLY when the driver gives you the "OK" signal. Stay seated and keep the aisle clear.
Drivers: Please review the "School Bus Safety Rules" graphic below so you know exactly when you MUST stop! 🛑
🚗 DRIVE SAFE! - Slow down, especially in school zones. Look twice for kids at every intersection, driveway, and crosswalk. Give bikes 3 feet! Put the phone away and focus on the road.
Let's work together to make the first day back a safe one. Share this post with your students and neighbors to help spread the word!
We can't wait to see you tomorrow! ✨

Recently, our 3rd and 4th grade students got to meet and chat virtually with the talented author, Carlie Sorosiak, who wrote the heartwarming Sunshine State Young Reader Award (SSYRA) nominee, Always, Clementine! She explained why she enjoys writing books from an animal's point of view, how she wanted to be a veterinarian when she was younger, and even how she volunteers at a cat shelter in Georgia! It was an incredible opportunity to connect our young readers with the person behind the pages. Thank you, Carlie Sorosiak, for inspiring our next generation of storytellers!

Calling all creative families! Get ready to unWRAP some fun with our latest Voluntary STEAM challenge! We're inviting all students and their families to transform ordinary wrapping paper into something extraordinary. The Challenge: Use wrapping paper (new, recycled, leftover from gifts – anything goes!) to create a Voluntary STEAM Family Project. Build a towering structure, design a new invention, craft an amazing piece of art, or solve a problem using the paper! The possibilities are endless. Let's see what amazing things you can WRAP up! Please turn in your innovative projects to the Media Center by this Friday, December 19th.
Don't forget that Run/Walk is tomorrow. Please wear your tennis shoes and bring a water bottle. We will be doing indoor movement activities if we are unable to go outside due to weather.
