🌟 5E Student Council in Action! 🌟
Each quarter, our 5th graders dive into a hands-on experience with government, leadership, and advocacy by running for student council! From writing campaign speeches to representing their peers’ voices, these students learn how real change starts with thoughtful ideas and hard work.
This quarter, Sara and Gracie stood out with their heartfelt proposal to build connections with our kindergarten students. Before they even wrote their campaign speech, they went straight to Mrs. Conway to ask if this idea could become a reality. Once they got her encouraging response, they ran with it—literally!
After winning the election, they worked on their first project: Gecko Time, which started with an Earth Day coloring activity they designed and led. They even emailed Mrs. Conway a thank-you note and started planning Phase 2. They visited kindergarten again to get feedback straight from the kids—and after a quick survey, musical chairs won the vote!
What you see in these photos is pure student-led magic: creativity, leadership, and joyful connection between our oldest and youngest learners. Watching Sara and Gracie beam with pride as their ideas came to life has been unforgettable.
This is what it looks like when student voice is empowered and supported. 💡👏

The Elementary had to say “ta ta for now” to our beloved ELP/3 Secretary, Nicole!
She will be deeply missed by so many—her kindness, dedication, and bright presence have made such a lasting impact over her four years with us.
The good news? She's not going far! Nicole will still be on campus, now serving the entire district as the new HR Secretary at the District Office. We’re so lucky we’ll still get to see her wonderful face around!
These are some big shoes to fill. Congratulations, Nicole, on your next adventure—we’re so proud of you!
Some of our teachers tried something new for Spring Parent-Teacher Conferences—Student-Led Conferences—and it was a huge success!
Students proudly took ownership of their hard work and showed off to their families (as they should!).
Parents loved hearing directly from their child about what they’ve been learning and working on this year. It was also such a joy to see families engaging together in the classroom, exploring the learning environment through their child’s eyes.
Way to go, students, teachers, and families!
Egg Scramble!!! 🥚 Our high-schoolers put on a fun egg hunt for our littles - and it was a huge success 🙌 Such a special opportunity for our district with being all on one campus!
(technology is wonderfully difficult at times 😁 *insert mental image here* -- it won't let me add my egg hunt pictures!!)
Huge shoutout to Mr. Prince for helping our 4th graders shine on stage and shape their performance skills! The show was wonderfully done, and we all learned so much about how the Tooth Fairy (and her global counterparts) are celebrated around the world. Bravo to everyone involved!
We've been a bit quiet lately, but that just means we've got lots to share! Get ready for a flood of fun updates from the past few weeks—so many great moments we can’t wait to show you!
