Study Island is one of our valuable educational programs. These students ate lunch with the teacher today to celebrate finishing all of their Study Island first grade math topics. When they finish second grade topics they are 'on the island' and celebrate with a tropical drink!


We wore red on Tuesday for anti-bullying week. We missed a few in the picture who were busy in other parts of the building.
