A Mustang Strong Start to the School Year!

Our school year is off to an incredible start! During our opening Community Gathering, we focused on setting the tone for the year by reviewing our schoolwide routines and expectations.

Our Mustangs have jumped right in and are already doing an outstanding job showing what it means to be Respectful, Responsible, and Safe.

 A few highlights from around the building:

-Learning is already in full swing across all grades, from hands-on Science labs and writing workshops to daily Fundations, Heggerty, and Benchmark literacy lessons.

-Students are doing a fantastic job mastering routines and taking pride in their school community.

-From morning arrivals at the bus loop and car rider line to afternoon dismissal, the halls are full of warm greetings and smiling faces that show just how excited our students are to be here.

Thank you to all of our families for your ongoing support, partnership, and enthusiasm. We are looking forward to a wonderful school year together!

Warm regards,

Principal Lynch

Mustang Proud!

Magnificent Mustangs

Gannon sets an amazing example for peers each day! He stays on task, participates in discussion, and encourages groupmates to do the same! Gannon shows such leadership and responsibility in the classroom!

Hagan stays behind a few minutes to straighten Art trays for the next class - he has really done well, making good choices about who he sits with and works well with others.

Cullen helps to greet our Kindergarten students each morning! He also helps them remember to get out their folders and shows them where they go in the morning. This is helping to establish our routines so each morning runs smoothly! Way to go being a leader, Cullen!

Jenna and Karlee started a clipping trend. They write kind words or decorate clothespins and secretly pin them on people throughout the day. It has brought joy to so many and really built community within our school. Other students have now started creating kindness pins and have started spreading kindness.
