It was a hands-on experience that brought their science learning to life! ❤️🐴🖤 #MustangPride

Mrs. Shepherd’s class learned about voting by holding their own cookie election—Chocolate Chip vs. Oreo! The ballots are in, and Chocolate Chip takes the win. A sweet lesson in democracy! 🍪 ❤️🐴🖤 #MustangPride

This week, Mrs. Caitlin Callahan’s homeroom filled our school’s food box with canned and boxed goods. Your generosity helps make a difference in our community! Way to show giving hearts. ❤️🐴🖤 #MustangPride

Mrs. Kami’s kindergarteners had a blast exploring what happens when you mix candy, vinegar, and baking soda in their “pumpkin belly” experiment! The class investigated the question: “What does too much candy do to your belly?” Each student added a piece of candy, then watched in excitement as the vinegar and baking soda created a fizzy, bubbly reaction. It was a fun and memorable way to learn about chemical reactions — and to see science in action!

🎉 Congratulations, Mustangs! 🎉 A huge round of applause to everyone who participated in our Red Ribbon Week Coloring Contest!
