🌟 Shining Stars Spotlight! 🌟
This week, we’re thrilled to recognize Ms. Anderson, our wonderful school counselor, and Austin Reiman, an outstanding student, as our Shining Stars!
Ms. Anderson’s kindness, dedication, and unwavering support make a difference in the lives of students and staff every single day. Whether she’s lending a listening ear or guiding students toward success, she does it all with heart.
Austin Reiman shines with his positive attitude, leadership, and hard work. He sets a great example for his peers and always goes the extra mile to help others and stay on track.

We had some very special visitors in Ms. Mueller’s 1st grade class- Mystery Readers!
Our students were thrilled to welcome surprise guests who shared their favorite books, brought stories to life, and helped foster a love of reading. The joy and excitement on the kids’ faces said it all!
Thank you to our amazing Mystery Readers for making reading such a fun and magical experience. We can’t wait to see who pops in next!
