Last Friday we had some Friendship Awards that were given by our ELL and RTI teachers. There was so much going on with celebrations for the 120th day as well as Valentine's Day, that we wanted to give some space on our website to those celebrations. Today is a quieter day so, here are the Friendship Award winners from last Friday. We are very proud of them!

Today we want to give a HUGE shoutout to our amazing SRO, Officer Mike! 👮♂️💙
Officer Mike is truly the absolute best. He works hard every single day to keep our school safe, and he does it all with a smile on his face. Our students adore him because he doesn’t just protect our campus he builds relationships, gives high-fives, listens to their stories, and makes them feel important.
He shows up for our kids in so many ways, and we are beyond thankful for his dedication, kindness, and heart for our school family. We are blessed to have someone who cares so deeply about our students and staff.
Thank you, Officer Mike, for loving our kids and keeping us safe. We appreciate you more than you know! 💙👏
