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!

🎨 Hallway Gallery Spotlight: 2nd & 3rd Grade Art 🎨

Our 2nd and 3rd graders, with Mrs. Steen, created these fun balloon animals inspired by Jeff Koons. They practiced using highlights and shading to make their designs look three-dimensional, and chose complementary colors to really make them stand out.

We love how bright, bold, and full of personality each piece is!
