We celebrated our CUBS who earned it with a fun PBIS CUB CLUBS event!
Students rotated through three exciting clubs (dance competition, directed drawing, and Minute to Win It) and had a blast along the way! Smiles were everywhere! A special shout-out to our 5th grade helpers who did an amazing job supporting and leading our K–2 Cubs! We’re so proud of our amazing students who show great character every day!

While our students enjoy a day at home, our teachers are hard at work behind the scenes! Today’s teacher workday is focused on planning, organizing, collaborating, and preparing engaging learning experiences for our Cubs. Everything we do, even on days without students, is done with them in mind!

Students in Mrs. Draper’s class are learning new phonics skills to help them become stronger readers!
This week, students practiced spelling patterns that make the /j/ sound and had the opportunity to demonstrate their learning for the class by marking words at the board. What a great way to build confidence and show what they know!
