Starry Elementary School

The students got a kick out of our staff "dress like Mr. Z" April Fools day joke. 😁 We appreciate Mr. Z for everything he does!

Today, 2nd graders got a new insect in the classroom (for their science unit!) Each student received their own mealworm. We are excited to learn about their life cycle! #starryinspire #misdinspire
