Has your student come home talking about "the mustache baby"?! 🥸😆
After reading Mustache Baby in the library, summer school students got into character with their very own mustaches and badges — just like Billy from the book! 🖤👮♂️👶

Kindergarten has been busy during summer school learning letters, exploring shapes, and getting creative with crafts! 🔢🎨🔠




A huge THANK YOU to Boonslick Regional Library for encouraging a love of reading in our students! 💚✨📚

Ms. Burnham’s 2nd grade summer school class had a hands-on week of learning with "dirt and worms" snacks and fossil-making fun. A perfect mix of creativity, science, and sweet treats to keep curious minds engaged! 🍫🪱🦴

🌧️ It’s raining, it’s pouring… but the fun’s still roaring! Mrs. Richardsons 3rd grade summer school class made the most of indoor recess earlier this week with games, legos & crafts. Who needs sunshine when you’ve got creativity? 🤩

📚🥎 Champions on and off the field! 🥎📚
Our state champion softball girls stopped by summer school to read to our elementary Wildcats earlier this week.
These young women aren’t just incredible athletes — they’re true leaders, showing what it means to give back to the community that helped shape them into who they are today. These young Wildcats are awfully lucky to have such amazing role models to look up to. 🌟
Thank you, champs, for setting the standard in sportsmanship, kindness, and leadership. 💪🐾
