🏠Which house will have the GOAT energy? 🏠

As you all know… we do things a bit differently at the Elementary! Meet Homie the House GOAT and yes, he’s a cool kid! This Friday, we’re aiming for 100% attendance as we officially get acquainted with Homie! Show up, show out, and bring the House Hype because students who go all in will be named the G.O.A.T. of their House color!

Don't be a litter bug! 🐞

Ron Clark often shares the philosophy that if everyone in the workplace gave just 1% more, the impact would be extraordinary. Mrs. Kennedy embodies that belief daily. With intentional effort, she greets every single student at her door with a smile, a cheer, and sometimes even a chant for students passing by. And if you look closely, you’ll see Mrs. Stanley walking a student to class, offering some much-needed TLC, a quiet moment of care, reassurance, and connection. It may seem small, but that extra 1% creates connection, joy, and a sense of belonging that students carry with them all day. This is the kind of energy that transforms a school not through grand gestures, but through consistent, intentional moments of care.❤️
