Miss Maggie’s class had a magical moment this week — they released their butterflies!
After weeks of watching the transformation from caterpillar to chrysalis to beautiful butterfly, our students said goodbye and sent them off into the world. It was a hands-on lesson in science, patience, and the beauty of change.
Here’s to growing, learning, and taking flight — just like our butterflies!

Thank you for your incredible dedication to our students and staff. We appreciate you today and every day!

Look who showed up at school today!
We found a shy little cat hanging around campus, and while we know everyone loves coming to our school, this furry visitor seems a bit too nervous to come inside.
Does this cat belong to anyone? It’s clearly someone’s pet — and we’d love to reunite it with its family. If you recognize this sweet kitty or know someone who’s missing a cat, please let us know!
Let’s help our little friend find their way back home.
