What an amazing day yesterday! Our 6th graders officially graduated from elementary school with a graduation ceremony and a memorable clap-out around the track. We are so proud of each and every one of you as you move on to the next chapter!

Our students became animal experts this month! 🐾

Here's what they did: 📚 Explored the Lions Library to find books about their favorite animals 📋 Researched and filled out detailed animal reports 🎨 Built incredible habitats using clay, paper, and crafting supplies
