We miss our students already and can't wait to see you again in August. Make sure to mark your calendars for the 2025-2026 Open Houses. Parents, you can bring school supplies to the Open Houses so your students don't have to carry everything in on the first day of school. #BePurple


Our 2nd and 3rd graders had a blast in the bounce houses as part of our Year End Celebration!










Our final Friday of positive office referrals ... we will miss these Fridays but enjoyed honoring these students today!



It wasn't a Tuesday, but we celebrated anyway! These amazing individuals make our school a better place and we are so proud to work with each of them!
