It's Bike to School Week April 28th- May 2nd! Our goal is to get 20 students to bike to school next week. Who can help reach that goal? Traffic warning signs are in place notifying cars that extra bikers will be on the roads each day to and from school. You might even be lucky enough to snag a little bike week swag if you come in on two wheels next week!
Attention all incoming KinderGators! Come see your new school and meet the amazing CPE team!
Being a Visible Learning school means that we put students in the driver's seat of their own learning. This gives students the opportunity to "level up" when they are ready!
During gator club time in the library, fourth graders learned how to crochet using toilet paper tubes. So fun!

Second graders welcomed Ms. Kelly Grigg-Reddish, our School Attendance Clerk, Health Aide, scheduler, and overall keeper of our students, to provide a valuable lesson about honey bees.
Students have been learning about INSECTS in their Knowledge CKLA lessons. Students know about social and solitary insects. They can also identify an insect using its attributes.
Ms. Grigg-Reddish is a beekeeper in her spare time. She shared her knowledge of the insects, how she cares for them, their habits, and the benefits of honey!
