Families, we wanted to let you know about a small lunch menu update for tomorrow. Instead of spaghetti, students will enjoy fresh chicken drumsticks and thighs from Flock Farms. All side items will remain the same — green beans and fruit cocktail will still be served. Thank you for your understanding, and we’re excited to offer our students this fresh, locally sourced option! 🍽️🐓

As colder weather arrives, we want to make sure all students stay warm and comfortable throughout the school day. Please be sure your child comes to school each day with appropriate winter gear—coats, hats, gloves, and any additional layers they may need.
We plan to have outdoor recess as long as the actual or “feels like” temperature is above 32°F. Fresh air and movement are important, and proper winter clothing helps us keep students safe while enjoying their time outside.
Thank you for helping us keep everyone bundled up and ready for the colder months ahead!

Today we had a parade like no other! The hallways were filled with oohs and ahhs as students enjoyed our 3rd Annual Thanksgiving Day Parade. They created their own balloons and showed off their marching skills, and the High School Band helped make the event even more special!

Our Kindergarten students enjoyed a wonderful hands-on learning experience today, thanks to Cedarhurst Education. They learned about the artist Vincent Van Gogh and explored a variety of painting techniques. Students even created their own beautiful sunflower masterpieces! Everyone had a great time and truly shined while practicing their new skills!
