💜💛 PAX LEADERS IN ACTION! 💛💜

We love catching our Braves doing GREAT things! 🌟

Our students are learning that being a PAX Leader means making choices that bring more peace, productivity, health, and happiness to our school.

Whether they’re helping a friend, showing kindness, being responsible, encouraging others, or simply doing the right thing—these Braves are leading by example! 💜💛

👏 We are so proud of our PAX Leaders in Action!

Our 3rd and 5th grade students recently set out on an exciting STEM mission to save “Fred The Worm” Each student used their problem-solving, critical-thinking, and engineering skills to develop a plan to rescue Fred from a tricky situation. Where his boat had flipped over and his life preserver  was stuck under the boat. This hands on STEM challenge gave students the opportunity to learn through creativity and a little bit of fun! Each student had to save Fred from drowning and get him inside his life preserver only using 4 paper clips! Getting to see each student solve their problem and save Fred is a true testament to the amazing work we will accomplish and challenges we will overcome this year.

📣 ELEMENTARY AFTERNOON PICKUP REMINDER
Elementary student pickup will take place through the designated pickup line by the cafeteria.

🚗 Car Pickup: Students will be dismissed from the building and will walk on the sidewalk to their vehicle as cars move through the pickup line.

🚶 Walk-Up Pickup: If you choose to walk up to pick up your child, you must go through the Elementary Office. Students will not be released to adults walking up to the cafeteria pickup area.

⚠️ Please help us keep the pickup line moving safely by remaining in your vehicle and following staff directions.

The safety of ALL of our children is our TOP priority! 💜💛 We appreciate your patience, cooperation, and support as we work to make dismissal safe, smooth, and efficient for everyone.

Be Brave. Be Bold. Be Brilliant. 💜💛
