This is an important time for our 3rd–5th graders to show everything they’ve learned this year, and your partnership makes all the difference! Please help your child be successful by ensuring they: ✅Arrive on time each morning ✅Get a good night’s sleep before testing days ✅Eat a healthy breakfast at home or school ✅Bring a positive attitude and their best effort Every minute of instruction counts, and being present and well‑rested helps students perform at their very best. We are so proud of their hard work and determination! As a reminder- we will be a closed campus to all visitors to ensure a secure testing environment.

Volunteers Needed! Calling all fashionistas, organizers, and community champions! Our Eagle Boutique is officially ready for some extra love, and we need YOU to help keep it flying high. The Eagle Boutique is our on-campus shop where students and families can "shop" for gently used clothing at no cost. It’s all about dignity, confidence, and making sure every student feels like a rockstar in the hallway. But, as you can imagine, keeping those racks organized and those hangers straight takes a village! 🦅 Help Our Eagles Soar (and Look Sharp!) ✨ How You Can Help: The Trendsetter: Help us sort through donations and pick out the best "new-to-you" styles. The Organizer: Keep the racks looking like a high-end boutique (or at least better than my junk drawer!). The Greeter: Help create a warm, welcoming space for students when they come in to browse. 🕒 The Details: When: We have flexible shifts available during school hours—even one hour a week makes a huge difference! Where: Right here on campus in the Eagle Boutique. Perks: Guaranteed smiles, first dibs on seeing the coolest vintage finds, and that "I made a difference today" glow. Our Goal: To make sure no Eagle ever has to worry about what they’re wearing, so they can focus on what they’re learning! If you have a knack for folding or just want to spend some time giving back to our amazing school community, we’d love to have you on the team.

Cardboard kids will be distributed tomorrow! Cardboard Kids are a fun way to bring awareness to child abuse in coordination with Child Safe. Students can return their decorated cardboard kid into the counseling office by March 27 for the chance to win a prize. Get creative and lets beat last year of having 264 decorated cardboard kids!

Don't forget- 📸📸Next Monday, March 23rd is Spring Picture Day! Proofs will be taken and sent home to view before you buy!

Wear green tomorrow! Class with highest attendance gets green and gold beads!!
