We’re so grateful for Mrs. Pohl and the care, time, and heart she pours into our school each day. From supporting students to lifting up staff she truly makes a difference in our community, and we’re lucky to have her!

Just another fun day at school!
Mrs. Kuehn was out there being the ultimate kickball pitcher, while Mrs. Muller was down on the floor playing right alongside our preschoolers.
We love seeing our staff jump in and make learning and play so much fun!

🎨 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!
