This important program teaches valuable life skills to fifth graders all over the county—covering topics such as drug prevention, vaping, peer pressure, and more.
By the end of the program, students have a better understanding of what it means to make safe, healthy, and responsible choices—and there may or may not be a pretty awesome graduation party waiting for them at the finish line!

Happy National Farm to School Month! This October, we’re celebrating the farmers who grow our food, the school nutrition teams who prepare it, and the school gardens where learning happens.🌾🏫

VegeCooking Winter Session runs from November through February! Our theme will be Rhythm and Recipes: Groovin' Foodies and Jammin' Chefs.
Kids mix, chop, and create delicious plant-based recipes inspired by the colorful energy of Swiftie eras and the upbeat fun of K-Pop. Each class blends hands-on cooking, kid-friendly nutrition, teamwork, and confidence-building moments that help every young chef shine.
Students learn real kitchen skills, explore vibrant ingredients, and enjoy creative challenges that make cooking feel like a mini show. It's joyful, engaging, and designed for kids who love to cook, love to create, or just love to have fun!

Every student deserves to feel safe, respected, and included in every classroom, hallway, and lunch table. Together, we can build a culture of kindness, empathy, and support.🩵
Let’s raise our voices, lift each other up, and STOP BULLYING before it starts.

Did you know that cyber threats are constantly evolving? It's crucial to stay informed and vigilant to protect your personal and professional information. Here are some tips to enhance your cybersecurity:
☑️Update Your Software Regularly:
Ensure all your devices and applications are up-to-date. Software updates often include important security patches that protect against vulnerabilities.
☑️Use Strong, Unique Passwords:
Avoid using easily guessable passwords. Use a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters, and consider using a password manager to keep track of them.
☑️Enable Two-Factor Authentication:
Add an extra layer of security to your accounts by enabling two-factor authentication. This requires a second form of verification beyond just your password.
☑️Be Wary of Phishing Scams:
Always double-check the sender's email address and be cautious of clicking on links or downloading attachments from unknown sources.
☑️Back Up Your Data:
Regularly back up your important files and data to an external hard drive or cloud service. This can save you in case of a ransomware attack or other data loss incidents.
Let's make this October a month of increased awareness and proactive steps towards a safer digital world. Stay cyber safe! 💻🔐

A huge thank you to Jen Tacbas with Great Books for Kids for her incredible generosity! 📚✨
Jen recently donated a brand-new book to every single one of our 1st-grade students. For our beginning readers, having a special book to call their own is a huge milestone as they take their first steps on the journey toward lifelong literacy.
Seeing their faces light up as they opened their books was priceless. Thank you, Jen, for investing in our young learners, sparking a love for reading, and supporting our school community! ❤️
