Congratulations to Ms. Karen for receiving the Gritty Gator from Ms. Dana.


Reminder-


To wrap up their unit on poverty and homelessness, fifth grade students in Challenge led a school-wide blessing bag drive for the second year in a row! Thanks to their hard work and the generosity of our school community, we were able to create 70 blessing bags filled with essentials like blankets, toiletries, snacks, and other wellness items to support those in need.
The bags were delivered to King’s Kitchen, and we’re so grateful to Lisa Beckemeyer for making the delivery for us! This experience was a powerful lesson in empathy, awareness, and taking action to help others.
Thank you to everyone who contributed—your kindness makes a difference!








Congratulations to our January MVP and All Star!

Ms. Lindsey's 5th grade ELA classes turned the classroom into a courtroom as they put the characters of Rapunzel on trial! Each team had to persuade the jury (their classmates) to believe their character was truly good. Who made the most convincing case?
