Today we recognize and thank our incredible school nurses for the care, compassion, and professionalism they bring to our schools each day. From supporting student health and wellness to responding in moments of need, you are a vital part of keeping our students safe, healthy, and ready to learn.
Thank you for all you do for our students, staff, and families—we appreciate you today and every day!
We are incredibly grateful for our teachers and the difference they make in the lives of our students each and every day. Your dedication, creativity, and commitment to helping students learn and grow does not go unnoticed. You go above and beyond—building relationships, inspiring curiosity, and creating opportunities for success both inside and outside the classroom.
Thank you for all you do to support our students, our schools, and our community. We appreciate you this week and every week!
Mrs. Lagapa and Mrs. Salaum's second grade classes went to University of Minnesota, Morris for the play 'Lilly's Little Purple Plastic Purse' on Wednesday, April 15. The students were all here on time - well prepared for the bus leave time at 8:30am to travel with bus driver Mikey Ceroll. After the play, the students and staff went to McDonald's for lunch and to a playground to play in the beautiful sunshine that day. Thank you to the staff for organizing this learning day for our learners. We were given several compliments on our students and their positive behavior throughout the day. Thank you parents/guardians for your support for your child to attend and also to the parent that made sure both classrooms had an extra snack and drink for the day. The smiles of our students when they left were even brighter when they returned.
Graduation is Saturday, May 16, 2026.
The doors in the morning open at 7:40am - please keep children with you until doors open at 7:40am.
End of day - pick up line is priority - the crossing guard will send parents/guardians across after the pick up line is complete.
