Mrs. Chorley and Mrs. Levy loved seeing our Stars at Marley Creek Park today! Thanks for stopping by to say hi and enjoying a cool treat with them! Don't miss the next stop at Prairie Ridge Park on Tuesday!
The last day of Science Fun class was all about engineering! Students were challenged to create a boat using aluminum foil and then see how many pennies their boats could hold before sinking. They were also challenged to build the tallest or widest structure using spaghetti noodles and marshmallows.
Our volleyball and badminton students had a great last day! Special shoutout to badminton students Ayden (singles champion) and Claudia & Ella (doubles champions)!
Science Fun students made slime today as one of their experiments!
Save the date for the 2026-2027 Back-to- School Events!
