Ms. Lyerla had a fun Polar Express party and her class watched the Polar Express! Her students also got to enjoy some hot chocolate while they watched the movie!
Our students had an absolute blast at the pep rally on Wednesday! 🎉 The energy in the gym was contagious, and the highlight was definitely the staff inflatable race—full of laughs, cheers, and school spirit.

Our Pre-K classes had a magical surprise from the Gingerbread Man! He tried to escape from the kitchen and ran through the halls—visiting classrooms, attempting to sing in music, and even stopping by the nurse’s office. In the end, our students finally caught up to him and enjoyed a sweet treat to celebrate the adventure!
Taylor Dodd and Wood Insurance will be hosting a free community event on December 12th from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at their office. Families can enjoy free horse-drawn carriage rides and pictures with Santa—a fun and festive way to celebrate the season. While the event is completely free, they will be accepting non-perishable food donations at the door. All donations will go directly to local food pantry to support families in need throughout the community this holiday season.

Last week our kitchen team prepared and served farm-fresh chicken from Flock Farm, and it was a big hit! The students really loved their lunch.
