For the 100th day of school, Ms. Gray’s 2nd graders transformed their classroom into NASA Headquarters for an out-of-this-world escape room challenge! Students worked in teams to crack math clues, steer their missions, and earn official NASA Agent Badges with top security clearance. What a fun way to celebrate 100 days of learning — and build teamwork and problem-solving skills along the way.
How lucky are we to have such dedicated bus drivers? This week we celebrated them with a grab and go breakfast, Crumbl Cookie treats, a donated gift card from Cakes by Becky, and a very special Buffalo Nickel as a token of our appreciation.
Just like the buffalo on this coin, you are symbols of strength and steadiness—braving all kinds of weather and traffic to keep our children safe. You truly are the “engine” that keeps our school running smoothly. Thank you for carrying our most precious cargo every day!

Just a quick reminder for parents of students who reside in Willow Acres and ride bus 196:
There are two bus stops in the Willow Acre complex. The 1st bus stop is at Mailbox #3. The 2nd bus stop is up front by the light pole.
For student safety, and according to district policy, an authorized adult must be present at the the bus stop to receive their child as they exit the bus. If an adult is not present, the bus driver will bring the student back to the school office where a parent or guardian can pick them up.

Feeling grateful! It's Love the Bus week and we’re celebrating the hardworking men and women who keep our students safe on the road. This morning we welcomed our bus drivers with a grab-and-go breakfast to start the week of appreciation. Thank you for all you do!
Bus 228 is running late this morning.

Have you heard of One Word for Kids? This charming story follows Stevie on his first day of school as he learns the power of choosing a single word to guide the year. After reading, our 5th graders picked a word that motivates them — and we hope they have the best year ever!
Guess who we celebrated today? Mrs. Missy Griffin! During National School Counselor Appreciation Week, WPS surprised her with some goodies to show how thankful we are. Mrs. Griffin does so much for our students, teachers, and families — from guidance and support to everyday encouragement. We’re so grateful for everything she brings to our school community. Thank you, Mrs. Griffin!
Did someone say snow day + study time? We loved seeing students and families make the most of this winter week—playing outside, laughing together, and even squeezing in some remote learning. What snowy memory made you smile this week? Share a photo or story below!
