Just a quick reminder that our staff will not be in the buildings Thursday or Friday.


We are so proud of our Kindergarten and First Grade Hornet High 5 Buzzworthy News students!
Jack helped Ms. Becca load milk, Thomas was keeping his classroom neat and tidy, and Leland picked up trash at recess.
Brayden was caught demonstrating buzzworthy behavior, Ledger was demonstrating line basics, and Lilee was being responsible by staying on task and ready at all times.
Thank you for being great role models!



Let's give a big High Five to these Hornet High Five Buzzworthy News students!
Kindergarten - Alden was demonstrating line basics all day long, Valentine was showing kindness and being responsible by finding a lost item in the bathroom and returning it, and Griffin was being responsible by following directions in the classroom.
First Grade - Astraea was showing kindness and being responsible by cleaning up, Rylie was being friendly by taking turns on the swing, and Haven was demonstrating body basics.
Great job!
