A huge thank you to Sonic for bringing the fun to our Hi5 Friday at the elementary school yesterday morning!

A few more #goodnewscallhome and I had to brag on this kiddo who chose to have Mr. G write her math problems during recess this week because she loves math and a good challenge. Exponents and parenthesis in 2nd grade! Love to see her own love for learning and remaining curious, one of our POWER skills.
#lesfamily #learningisfun


#goodnewscallhome still coming!




Teachers have been challenged to keep finding the positive behavior as we inch closer to the end of the school year and they're doing just that. #goodnewscallhome







Softball also wins Game #2 and finishes off the sweep of Nickerson.
