Easter break is next Friday, April 3 and the following Monday, April 6. There will be no school either of those days.
On Monday the elementary got to read to some special guests that came to visit.
Thank you Furry Friends Rockin Rescue for bringing down some dogs, puppies, and cats for the students to read to.
Students and staff had a blast with some furry friends!
To celebrate Spring Break, the Elementary school had dance parties in the gym during the afternoon recesses. Students and staff had such a great time, even if there were a few glow stick explosions. Have a great Spring Break everyone!
🏀📚 MARCH MADNESS READING CHAMPIONS – WEEK 1! 📚🏀
A HUGE shoutout to **Mrs. Engle’s 3rd grade class** for taking 1st place in Week 1 of our **statewide March Madness Reading Contest**, put on by **Amira Learning**! 👏🔥
That’s right—this isn’t just in-house competition. Our students are going head-to-head with schools **across the entire state**, and Mrs. Engle’s class came out on top!
Amira Learning is an AI-powered reading program that listens to students read out loud and provides immediate feedback and coaching. It adjusts to each student’s level, helping build fluency, confidence, and comprehension—like having a one-on-one reading tutor available every day. And the results speak for themselves.
Mrs. Engle’s class showed what happens when effort, consistency, and a little competitive fire come together. They didn’t just show up—they set the standard.
To our students: you earned this—be proud and keep pushing!
To Mrs. Engle: outstanding leadership and expectations in the classroom—this is how growth happens.
Week 1 goes to Cannon Ball Elementary… now let’s see who’s ready for Week 2! 👀
