Showing up every single day is no easy feat, but these dedicated students did exactly that! We are incredibly proud to celebrate our students who achieved perfect attendance for the entire school year.
To reward their commitment, Mr. Hodge and Mr. Meyer provided them with a variety of coupons to enjoy at Orphan Annie's.
A big shoutout and thank you once again to Dina Hurley, owner of Orphan Annie's, for helping our principals put this together and for her continuous support of our students!
Thank you to our families for making school a priority every day. Congratulations to these students on an amazing, uninterrupted year!
4th Grade Celebrates Math Success!
Our 4th-grade students did an incredible job on their state math tests, with 82% of the grade achieving passing scores and hitting the state proficiency indicator.
Before testing began, Mr. Hodge and Mr. Meyer promised a special treat to any grade that reached the 80% mark. The students voted on their reward, and slushies are officially on the way!
A big thank you to Dina Hurley, owner of Orphan Annie's, for helping our principals organize the celebration and providing a generous hometown discount for our students.
Congratulations to our 4th graders on their hard work and well-deserved reward!
