Yesterday we hosted the last behavior party of the year! A FOAM PARTY! 🫧
Thank you to a Clarkston parent, Mr. De La Garza, and American State Bank for coming to talk to kindergarten about the creation of & saving money! Each of our kindergartners took home a piggy bank to start saving their money at home! 💰🐾
We wrapped up the year with a fun and delicious 5th Grade Cookout! Our students got to enjoy hamburgers and hot dogs hot off the grill! Thanks to the generous support of our amazing PTA for donating all of our hot dogs!!
From the grill masters to the helping hands at the serving tables, and of course the smiling faces of our students, it was a day full of good food, laughter, and great memories.
Thank you to everyone who made this celebration possible for our graduating 5th graders – what a way to kick off summer!

We had a special visit from the Creature Teacher! Our students loved learning about animals and being able to interact with them. 🦘 🐢 🦎
Mrs. Craft's class ended a year of learning & growing together with a family dinner. A time to sit with peers, share a meal, share their proudest moments from the year, and continue to build the relationships they've been working on in the daily morning meetings.
We are building morning than academic knowledge here-we are building community! ❤️🐾
