🦁 MARCH ANIMAL REPORTS: A Wild Success! 🦒

Our students became animal experts this month! 🐾

Here's what they did: 📚 Explored the Lions Library to find books about their favorite animals 📋 Researched and filled out detailed animal reports 🎨 Built incredible habitats using clay, paper, and crafting supplies

The creativity and curiosity were amazing to see! From cozy dens to jungle canopies, each habitat told a unique story about the animals that call them home. 🏡

A huge thanks to our library for helping students discover their new animal friends! 📖✨

What was YOUR favorite animal project? 🦋🐢🐻

🌮Principal Lowery Gets 'Taco'd' for Reading Success! 🌮

Our students just reached an incredible milestone — 500,000 reading minutes in March! 🎉

To celebrate this amazing achievement, Principal Lowery got transformed into a TACO! 🤣 Students who read the most minutes in each class got to add a topping to the Principal's head. Turns out, dragons AND principals love tacos! 🐉

A special shout-out to Mrs. Lee's class for reading the MOST minutes as a class — they earned a taco party! 🎊

We're so proud of our readers! So remember: Read big, dream big, and always save room for tacos! 🌮✨

Fifth-grade students recently embarked on an immersive historical journey exploring the American Revolutionary War. The curriculum featured student-directed performances depicting pivotal events from the era, followed by biographical research projects. Students presented their findings in character, portraying influential figures such as George Washington, Sybil Luddington, Thomas Jefferson, Betsy Ross, and Deboral Sampson. We were honored to welcome parents and community members to this showcase, where students demonstrated their expertise on the foundational events leading to the creation of the U.S. Constitution.

Our top 10 Amazing Shake students had an incredible week! 🌅 We sat down with our Mayor and 2 city council members over breakfast for a powerful round table discussion on youth voices in civic leadership.

Our students didn't just listen—they led the conversation, sharing innovative ideas to bring our community together and make a real impact. 🤝

This is what happens when we empower young leaders to have a seat at the table. The future is bright! ✨

🏰 Medieval Majesty in Mrs. Glover's Classroom! 🏰
Hark! A valiant student in Mrs. Glover's class hath earned a most royal reward—a princess party of legendary proportions!

The kingdom was brought to life as brave knights and fair maidens graced the halls in full medieval splendor. Crowns were worn, swords were wielded (in jest, of course!), and the spirit of chivalry filled the air. 'Twas a day of merriment and pageantry most fitting for such an accomplished scholar!

Long may this triumph be remembered in our noble classroom! ⚔️👑✨
