📚💙 Teamwork in action! The Walmart management team stopped by to read with our 4th & 5th graders, sharing a story that highlights our January character word: TEAMWORK 🤝 Each classroom even received a copy of the book to keep! Thank you for partnering with us! 🐺✨

🕵️‍♂️🔐 Ms. Rampersad’s 5th graders are cracking the code—literally! Today, students stepped into the role of historians as they decoded messages and learned about the Zimmerman Telegram. History comes alive when curiosity leads the way!

We’re back and better than ever! 🎉 It was so great to have our students back in the building today. Drop a comment and tell us — what was the best part of your day?

🧝‍♀️🎄 Fun in Ms. Williamson’s class today! Emma the Elf stopped by to read a story while students decorated Santa’s sleigh—holiday magic in action! ✨🎅

🚂❄️ First grade had a ticket to fun as they worked their way through Polar Express–themed stations in each classroom! Learning, laughter, and holiday magic all around! 🎄

🎶✨ Our Annual Sing Along filled the halls with Christmas cheer! We loved hearing our students spread joy through song. Special appearances by Ms. Goldsmith and Ms. Drummon’s kindergarten stars, a stunning solo by Ms. Coan with her amazing backup dancers, and a special 6–7 dance made it a celebration to remember! 🎄💃🕺🎤

You can see the whole performance on Facebook!

When it comes to spreading Christmas cheer, there's "no job too big, no pup too small"… especially at our Christmas PAW-ty!🐾 🎅❤️ Paw Patrol was on a roll at their celebration today!

🎄✨ Christmas party magic all around Wolfpack Nation today! K4, K5, 2nd, 4th, and 5th graders had an absolute blast celebrating together — laughter, games, treats, and tons of holiday cheer! ❤️💚

🕵️‍♂️🍪 The Case of the Missing Gingerbread! Ms. Wells’ first graders read The Gingerbread Baby and baked their own cookies… but before they could grab them from the oven, they ran away! 👀 Our Wolfpack detectives searched the school and finally found the sneaky gingerbread men back in their classroom—just in time for a tasty snack! 😄✨

Reindeer Day fun in 3rd grade! 🦌 Ms. Crocker’s and Ms. Jacks’ classes had the BEST time today — from adorable directed drawings to festive games, and finishing the day watching Rudolph! ❤️🎨🎲🎬 Love seeing our Wolfpack get into the holiday spirit! 🐺💫

💚🎄 Grinch Day Fun in Ms. Benson and Ms. Carson's rooms! 🎄💚 Friday these 5th graders went FULL GRINCH mode! 😆 They watched the animated Grinch movie, listened to the Universal Grinch himself read How the Grinch Stole Christmas (with hilarious commentary, of course 😂), and then read How the Grinch Lost Christmas! Afterward, we compared and contrasted the two stories like true reading pros. 📚✨ Students sipped on Grinch Punch 💚😋 while drawing on their special green desk paper and enjoying the movie! A HUGE shoutout to Annabelle and Logan for winning our “Most Green” Grinch Competition in each class! 💚🏆💚 What a Whoville-worthy day! 💫🎄💚

❄️✨ Frosty Friday Vibes! ✨❄️
Our Wolfpack showed up in their coolest snowy styles today! From fluffy sweaters to frosty fits, everyone brought the winter magic! 🧤🧣☃️

And to top it all off, our amazing admin team sent teachers home with Frostys to keep the chill going! 🍦💙
