On Thursday, our students amazed us with their math skills โ mastering place value, regrouping, and even teaching their partners step-by-step how to solve double-digit addition problems! โค๏ธ
We love seeing our Eagles learn by explaining their thinking and helping one another soar in math! ๐ฆ โ๐ก

On Wednesdays, we wear pink during Breast Cancer Awareness Month! ๐
Students, staff, and familiesโjoin us in showing support and spreading awareness by wearing pink each Wednesday throughout October. Together, we honor survivors, remember those weโve lost, and stand with those currently facing breast cancer. Letโs fill our schools with love, hope, and a sea of pink this month. ๐

We are thankful and thrilled that our local student led group has selected Ms. Dolan as this monthโs educator of the month for HSE.
Thank you to every student, parent, and community who helped through voting.

When students are in class every day, they gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to succeed.
Attendance always matters, but October 6-10 is especially important. That's the week the state takes its enrollment snapshot to decide school funding for the year.
โ Students in class = accurate snapshot = the right funding to support stronger schools in our A-rated District and better opportunities for our kids.
Let's work together to make sure our students are here next weekโit makes a difference for everyone.
