Meanwhile, in the auditorium, our students spent time in ‘promotion hour’ to hear from their 6th grade peers about what’s ahead as they move up to #SaxeMS.
📚Thank you to the #WestSchool PTC for bringing author Nick Bruel to campus yesterday! Our students loved learning all about the Bad Kitty series and how their favorite feline has evolved over the past 20 years.

The NEW #East School playground extension is now open! 🎉 Principal Robinson helped kick things off with a class of excited students who took the first ride down the new slide, climbed the rock wall, and tested out all the new features, including an ADA-compliant swing, that makes it more fun and inclusive for everyone! Even Officer Bentley couldn’t resist the excitement!
