Our 3rd graders enjoyed a fantastic day of fishing at Four Lakes Forest Preserve! With amazing support from our parent and family volunteers, students learned about animal classification before putting their knowledge into practice out in the field.
A special thank-you to the DNR for celebrating students who caught their very first fish with special pins! 🎣🐟

Sometimes the smallest moments of connection give students a reason to keep showing up & can make a BIG difference.
Attendance is about more than being in a seat. It's about connection, belonging & knowing that your presence matters.
Every student deserves to know they are missed when they're gone and valued when they're here.

Absences Add Up
Did you know? Missing just two days of school each month can add up to chronic absence over the course of a school year.
Every absence, excused or unexcused, means time away from learning, relationships and the routines that help students succeed.
The good news? It’s never too late to build stronger attendance habits. If getting to school regularly is becoming difficult, reach out to your school. We’re here to help!

3rd grade had their annual Wind in the Willows picnic! We tried ginger ale, ate cookies, and played Skittles. Skittles is a lawn game much like bowling. 🧺🐜🎳
