4th Grade Science Class Shines Bright!
The students in Mrs. Hall's class have been busy exploring the wonders of science, and they ended their unit with a hands-on project! They each created their very own flashlights as part of their learning about circuits and energy.
These young scientists had a blast putting their knowledge to the test, and now they’ve got their very own flashlights to light up the room (or maybe their next adventure)!
3rd Grade Quest Students Explore Lunar New Year with Ozobots!
Sofia and Connor from our 3rd Grade Quest class have been combining creativity and coding as they learn about the traditions of the Lunar New Year! After researching the holiday’s customs, they were challenged to program their Ozobots to collect lucky money in red envelopes—just like in the New Year celebrations!
It’s amazing to see them problem-solve and apply their tech skills in such a fun and meaningful way. Way to go, Quest!

ELEMENTARY PAGEANT ANNOUNCEMENT
4th Grade Heartwarming Letter Writing Project In December, Mrs. Edwards's 4th-grade students took part in a special letter-writing project where they wrote heartfelt letters to children at the Ronald McDonald House in Baltimore, Maryland. The students enjoyed knowing that their words and small toy gifts would bring some holiday cheer to kids facing medical challenges. It was a fun and meaningful class project, and we're so proud of their kindness and generosity. Thank you to our students for spreading love and joy!
