Every superhero has a cape… but ours have something even more powerful: BIG HEARTS, LEADERSHIP, and a LOVE for our students!
Our talented students created AMAZING superhero posters to celebrate our incredible principals, Super Sra. Ries and Super Dra. Vik!
We love seeing our students express their appreciation in such creative and meaningful ways! Thank you, Super Sra. Ries and Super Dra. Vik, for being everyday heroes in our school community!
Not all superheroes wear capes… some lead our school!

Eleanor’s mom nominated Sra. Landry for a teacher appreciation raffle through her workplace, and Sra. Landry was selected as the winner. The Wiersma family also generously donated an eyeglasses repair kit to our nurse’s office to help support students with minor glasses repairs when needed.
We truly appreciate the Wiersma family for their thoughtfulness and for supporting our students and staff.

First Day Fun at Sonia Sotomayor Elementary!
What a way to kick off the school year! Our first day was filled with smiles, excitement, and plenty of school spirit!
Pep Rally on the Playground!
Our students and staff came together to celebrate the start of an amazing new school year. The energy was contagious!
Lobos Launch!
After families dropped off their kindergarten student, they joined our principals, Dr. Vik and Ms. Ries in the Outdoor Classroom for some delicious treats from Zest Social House (owned by the grandparents of a kindergarten student) and coffe from the Source (owned by a first grade family)! Parents mingled, shared some stories, asked questions and got to know other kindergarten parents! It was a nice time meeting new faces and catching up with returning families.
Here’s to a wonderful school year filled with learning, laughter, growth, and unforgettable memories!
