Two classes raised over $1,000, so it was decided that they would both earn a pizza/donut party tomorrow in their classrooms.
Way to go, 3rd-grade class, for raising $1,136.36, coming in behind the 2nd Graders who raised $1,993.31!

Youth basketball is canceled on Saturday, March 14.
Grades 3–5 recently came together to talk about what teamwork, kindness, and sportsmanship should look like at recess. While games can be fun and competitive, we focused on the idea that recess is about much more than just athletics. It’s about including others, encouraging teammates, and treating everyone with respect, even when the game doesn’t turn out the way we hoped.
Students worked together to discuss what recess should look like and sound like when we are being good friends. They shared ideas about cheering each other on, solving problems respectfully, inviting others to join games, and using kind words. To capture these ideas, students created posters to remind everyone how we can make recess a positive place for all.
We are proud of the thoughtful conversations and teamwork our students showed. When we focus on kindness, cooperation, and encouragement, recess becomes a place where everyone can have fun and feel included.
