It was a wonderful moment of learning, collaboration, and inspiration between grade levels. Great job to all our young conservationists!

Yesterday, our talented second graders took us on an unforgettable journey through the rainforest with their program, "Singing in the Rainforest." Through songs and performances, they introduced us to the vibrant wildlife of the rainforest, including toucans, pythons, agoutis, spider monkeys, red-eyed tree frogs, and the beautiful blue morpho butterfly.
Their hard work and enthusiasm brought the rainforest to life, making it a fun and educational experience for all! Thank you to Mrs. Blake for her hard work and dedication in creating such a fantastic show! We also appreciate everyone who helped make this performance so special. Your efforts truly made it an unforgettable experience for all! Bravo, second graders!

To make the celebration even more special, they enjoyed learning fun Texas facts and tasting some delicious Texas-themed snacks. It was the perfect way to bring their Texas unit to life!
Mrs. Verrett’s 3rd-grade class celebrated Texas Public School Week by putting their financial literacy skills to the test, planning a "Texan Meal" for their families! Students carefully selected ingredients, calculated costs, and tracked their spending using Google Sheets, analyzing their totals with built-in graphs to stay within budget. They designed personalized menu covers in Canva to bring their meal to life, incorporating creative elements that reflected their chosen dishes.
Way to go, 3rd graders! Your budgeting and design skills are as strong as a Texan!
