These students created busts of Malala Yousafzai and a WWI soldier for a class project. Great work!

2nd graders work in their UFLI books to practice their fluency. On Mondays, they do "cold read" on a new passage and practice throughout the week. On Thursdays, they do a "hot read" to see how much further they can get! They love to see their progress at the end of the week!




Bakery students are working to decorate their cupcakes for cupcake wars competition tomorrow. Students chose their own recipe to make their cupcakes and frosting from scratch. Wish them luck with the judges tomorrow!
