Carter has a wealth of information on animals, we all enjoyed hearing about new and interesting animals. He was a good sport during our Fred Bird visit.


Mrs. Heidelberg has selected Edmund as Student of the Month! He has been very involved with school activities, even during distant learning. Edmund never backed down from challenges and always managed to find a solution to the problem. Anytime we had technical difficulties, we could always count on him to figure it out! Edmund worked very well with his peers and was respectful towards adults. He enjoyed mastering all of his multiplication facts and reading good books as well. Edmund always came to school with a smile on his face and eager to discover something new! It has truly been a pleasure having him in my class, this year!




Roman is Mrs. Claxton’s May Student of the Month! During distance learning, Roman worked hard and completed his school work, participated in all of the class Zoom meetings, and maintained a positive attitude. He spent time building Lego patterns, playing games, hanging with his siblings, and playing outside. Way to go Roman!
