2nd graders enjoyed a visit from Mt. Vernon fire department today to learn about fire safety. We want to thank all our volunteer fire fighters for their courage and bravery protecting our community.

Our first graders had an a-maze-ing time at Devine’s Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch! From exploring the corn maze to picking the perfect pumpkin, it was a day full of smiles, laughter, and fall adventures. Thank you to all our wonderful parent chaperones and the staff at Devine’s for helping make this trip so special!

Leader in Me Spotlight – September Recap! 🌟 In September, we focused on three powerful paradigms: 💡 Everyone can be a leader 🌟 Everyone has genius 🔄 Change starts with me Our students didn’t just learn these ideas — they lived them! 💙 Student Lighthouse members sorted shirts for the Hunger Walk. ✍️ Mrs. Lyndsey’s 4th graders wrote persuasive essays about why these paradigms matter. 🤝 4th graders also partnered with 1st graders for clean-up and small group learning. 🎒 5th graders led their own learning through partner talks and group work and helped in preschool classrooms — leading by example! 🚶‍♀️ Even our preschoolers showed independence by leading themselves down the hall! Leadership is shining in every corner of our school! ❤️🐴🖤 #MustangPride #rocketlearnerstorocketleaders #LeaderInMe
