Mr. Barrau and Ms. Riggle's 3rd grade homeroom amazed us last week by singing "High Hopes." Bravo, 3rd graders!
It's Thankful Thursday! Our TAT student interviewed Ms. Carney's class, who were thankful for: food, technology, TV, books, air, Kamala Harris, Papa John's pizza, family, animals, water, video games, tacos, life, root beer floats, dogs, fourth grade students, fourth grade team, and four day weekends!
Think PINK! Thursdays during October, we're wearing pink to raise awareness of breast cancer and honor survivors. We saw so much pink on Thursday!
Mr. Smith, along with some fourth grade helpers, led us in a Mindful Monday positive affirmation:
I know I can
Be what I want to be
If I work hard at it
I'll be who I want to be!
Happy Spirit Week! Blue and Gold Willow Spirit to end a fabulous week of fun!


Happy Spirit Week! What year is it?!? So many delightful decades in attendance today!
