Principal’s Update & Important Dates

Welcome to the last few weeks of school for the 2023-24 school year! Our students and teachers are busy wrapping up the year with exciting final projects and presentations. It’s been wonderful to see the creativity and effort students have poured into their work. We are so proud of their accomplishments! This is a chance for them to showcase all they’ve learned throughout the year, and from what I’ve seen, they are finishing strong. Keep up the great work, students 🚀

It’s hard to believe another school year is almost over. Looking back, it’s been a fantastic year filled with learning, growth, and exciting events. We can’t wait to celebrate our students and their achievements as we wrap up the year!

LaunchED Picture of the Week: Updates from our Chickens!

We have loved having our baby chickens grow to become adolescent chickens! This week, our principal, Julie Read, met with each of our elementary classes to give an update on our baby chickens as well as answer questions from our students. It has been so fun to have our school get involved and learn about these incredible birds!
