Our 3rd graders had an amazing time at Signing Day at the middle school! ✍️🎉
Students got a special glimpse into their future as they toured the building, met staff, and officially “signed” their commitment to becoming future middle school students. The excitement, smiles, and energy throughout the day made it such a memorable experience for everyone involved!
We can’t wait to see all the great things this class will accomplish!

So much exploring done by our first graders at the Hastings Museum today

Summer EBT in Nebraska
Ms. Mayra and Valeria made our Cinco de Mayo so very special! The whole school learned about traditional dances, music, and celebrations from these two beautiful ladies.
Take a moment to check out the amazing artwork from our 2nd graders on display in the hallways! 🎨
We love seeing their creativity and hard work brighten up our school.

Our preschoolers have been busy in PE with Mr. H and having a blast!
From stacking giant cups, balancing with beanbags, shooting hoops, and aiming footballs at targets, these little learners are building skills while having so much fun at their PE stations.
Way to go, preschoolers! Keep moving, learning, and smiling!

O is for OUT and about! ☀️📚
Our kindergarteners had a fun-filled day celebrating the letter “O” by getting outside and exploring. They walked to the public library, learned all about the exciting summer programs, and then headed to the park for some playtime!
Learning, exploring, and having fun all in one day!
