A Community That Cares

We had so much fun at our class Valentine parties thanks to the care of our PTA to plan such entertaining games and crafts for the students!

 

 

 

Thanks to the care of PTA Book Club volunteers, many students are enjoying enriching science experiments and related fiction books with a STEM theme. 

  

It's impressive to see the thought and care students put into solving math problems logically and accurately.  Our teachers put great care into posing challenging math problems with just enough scaffolded support and questioning for students to be engaged in "productive struggle" and experience the exhilaration of learning and success!

 

We know that our students are willing to put forth great effort and focus on learning about things they really care about. It was so powerful to see how hard this first grader was working at reading and writing about learning to ride a bike without training wheels. I'm confident she'll be ready for spring! :)

Our assistant principal, Mrs. Beane, cares about our students! She does an amazing job working with our TV production crew every morning as they prepare for live-streamed morning video announcements. 

I care about the kids in our school, too! I care about their learning and their friendships. I care that they are getting to and from school safely! I've been enjoying riding the school buses this month. It's been a wonderful opportunity to get to know more about the community and neighborhoods of our students. It's been wonderful to get to know our students better. It's been wonderful to get to know more about each bus driver. The bus drivers have been showing me that they know and care a lot about the kids, too!
