☕✨ Coffee on the Playground was a hit! ✨
A huge thank-you to our amazing PTO and The Source for treating our families and staff to a full-service coffee cart this morning!
From hot lattes to iced tea, it was the perfect morning pick-me-up—and a wonderful way to connect with one another before the school day.
We are so grateful for our PTO for making mornings like this possible!

Graduation Day Magic!
Our Kinders completed their very first big milestone — we’re so proud of how far they’ve come and can’t wait to watch them grow even more in the years ahead!
Our 5th graders are moving on to middle school, and we know they’ll continue to do amazing things — the future is bright, and they’re just getting started!
To make the day even more special, we were honored to welcome former Sonia Sotomayor students now graduating from high school! They walked our hallways one last time, inspiring everyone with their journey and reminding us all how far a strong start can take you.
This was more than a graduation — it was a celebration of growth, resilience, and the beautiful bonds we share as a school community.

What an EPIC Last Day of School!
We closed out the school year with an unforgettable day full of fun, laughter, and celebration!
The morning kicked off with Field Day — think snow cones, inflatables, and nonstop smiles! Kids raced, jumped, and played their hearts out.
And the fun didn’t stop there! In the afternoon, we turned up the energy with the ¡Una Manada! Celebration — a dance party like no other!
A huge shoutout to our students, staff, and families who made it absolutely magical. Here’s to the memories we’ve made and the adventures ahead!
