Today, our school community came together for a special Veterans Day Assembly to honor and recognize the brave men and women who have served our country.
We are so proud of our students for helping make this assembly meaningful through their participation, performances, and heartfelt expressions of gratitude.
To the veterans who joined us, especially those who are part of our school families and community, thank you for allowing us to honor you. Your service and sacrifice remind our students of the importance of courage, gratitude, and community.
From all of us at school, thank you for your service!

Celebrating Día de los Muertos!
Our staff put together a beautiful altar for our Lobos as a cultural immersion experience. It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn about Mexican culture, traditions, and the beautiful meaning behind this special celebration.
At our school, we believe in celebrating the cultures that make our community so special. These experiences help us learn from one another, build connections, and create a sense of belonging for everyone.
¡Feliz Día de los Muertos!
UNA MANADA CELEBRATION!
Our Lobos are AMAZING! We celebrated the incredible students that make our school such a special place to be!
Together, we learn, grow, support one another, and show what it truly means to be ONE PACK!
One School. One Family. UNA MANADA!

A Special Visit for Our 5th Graders!
Our 5th graders had a special opportunity to welcome US Representative Dusty Johnson! It was a great experience for our students to connect with a government leader and learn more about civic engagement and the importance of being informed, active members of their community.
We are grateful for opportunities like this that bring learning beyond the classroom and encourage our students to stay curious, ask questions, and explore the world around them!
