Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Valentine’s Love of Literacy Night! ❤️📚
We had such a wonderful evening reading books together, making Valentines, creating special bookmarks for family members, and checking out extra books for the break from our library and the Douglas County Public Library Book Mobile!
It was so much fun seeing families reading side by side and capturing sweet memories at our photo station.
Thank you for coming out and showing your Cub that literacy is something to celebrate as a whole family. And a special thank you to our staff who stayed at school to run stations and helped make it such a successful night and Annie from the Douglas County Public Library for bringing the Book Mobile! We are so grateful for our amazing community! 🐾💕

Our 5th graders are sparking new ideas this Black History Month! During STEM, students explored the life and legacy of Lewis Latimer, the brilliant inventor who played a pivotal role in the development of the lightbulb and the electric lamp.
Inspired by Latimer’s contributions to electricity, our young scientists got hands-on by:
🔌 Creating their own functional electric circuits.
🔍 Testing everyday objects to classify them as conductors or insulators.
💡 Discovering exactly what it takes to keep the lights glowing!
It was an "electrifying" way to honor history while building future engineering skills. 🛠️✨

Our 4th-grade scientists have been reaching for the stars! During STEM class this Black History Month, students honored the incredible legacy of Dr. Mae Jemison by taking their engineering skills to the next dimension.
Using Tinkercad, these young innovators designed custom rockets that are now coming to life on our brand-new 3D printer! 🖨️✨
🙌 A Heartfelt Thank You
We want to extend a huge shout-out to the Key family for their generous donation of the 3D printer. This amazing tool will be used during STEM to enhance hands-on learning for all of our 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students.
We are so grateful for your support in helping our students’ ideas take flight! 🚀💡

During STEM, our students dived into the incredible legacy of Alexander Miles to celebrate Black History Month. After learning how his invention of automatic elevator doors changed the world, our young engineers took the lead!
Using a mix of LEGOs and VEX kits, they designed and built their own elevator prototypes with custom door mechanisms. Honestly? Some of these unique designs are so clever, we might see them in modern buildings one day! 🏢✨

Greatness grows here every day. Read what our students in Dr. Knowles' Kindergarten class shared what that means to them.
Yari - "Dr. Knowles taught me about addition and subtraction. She had me play with blocks that helped me do it."
Cali - "Dr. Knowles taught me how to read. I learned at school and practiced my sight words at home. She taught me sight words and how to sound out other words."
Wyatt- "Dr. Knowles taught me how to read. She let me stay at her table and helped me as long as I needed until I was able to read."

Did you know we are lucky enough to have two school counselors in our building? 💙 That means two days of celebrating!
Today we’re spotlighting our compassionate and dedicated counselor, Ms. Pate, who serves our students in HAVEN, but is always ready to jump in wherever she’s needed. We are so thankful for her dedication, kindness, and unwavering support of our students and staff.
Happy School Counselor Appreciation Week!

We build greatness daily - Every day at our school is a chance to learn something new, push a little further, and become a little better. Our students experience that growth firsthand—and these third graders in Ms. Watts and Ms. Ewing's classes say it best themselves.
Will - "My teacher helped me learn fractions. Ms. Watts helped me believe in myself when I thought it would be hard and she showed me it's easy."
Jiya - "I learned how to use quotation marks in writing because in Ms. Ewing showed me how to add them to a story I wrote."
Karmen - "Ms. Watts taught me fractions on number lines and that helped me get a 100 on iReady lessons because she showed me how to do it."

Greatness isn’t built in a single moment—it’s built daily. In our classrooms and hallways, students are learning, growing, and rising to challenges every day. Here’s what that journey looks like for 5th graders in Mr. Lockett and Dr. Lee's classes, in their own words.
Alana - "I used to not like math which made me not very good at it. Dr. Lee has shown me easier ways to do it, which has helped me improve and like math."
Mia - "I have shown growth on iReady this year. I give credit to my teachers for really pushing us and teaching us new ways to think."
Beatrice - "I have grown in reading because Mr. Lockett pushes me to do my best. He has given us practice to do better. I also read a lot now so I can log it in Beanstack."

She is always smiling, even when she isn’t feeling well, and if anyone in the classroom—including the teacher—needs help, she jumps in without even being asked.
Amanda was nominated by Mrs. Boyd who said it is truly an honor to recognize her for Kindness Matters Monday.
