Walk Safe Poster Contest

Every year our students participate in the Walk Safe Program. The final activity is to design and draw a poster that celebrates the program. I am tasked with selecting one poster to represent our school in the district-wide poster contest. Congratulations to our student who created our school's winning poster!

Watercolor Exhibition

Each year the district holds a Watercolor Exhibition. The entries are judged and only the top paintings will be selected for inclusion in the exhibition. I am proud to present our school's entries. These beautiful watercolor gardens were painted by some of our awesome fifth graders. I wish our students luck and hope that some or all will be chosen for the exhibition.
