Congrats, Ms. Strom's class! They were the tenth correct reply for our "What's This Song?!?" Wednesday Award. They could not be tricked and were able to immediately hear our answer was a rock cover of "Golden" from KPop Demon Hunters performed by the band Artificial Fear featuring vocalist Anthony Vincent. Way to go!

We can't wait to see you tomorrow! :)

Week 30 was one to remember! Our incredible custodian, Yeoman, spent time with 5th graders teaching them how to play Phase 10, creating fun and connection along the way. In Ms. Denny’s class, students got creative by designing masks that perfectly fit their faces. With the sunshine finally here, students enjoyed time outside while continuing to prepare for our upcoming Engage in Education Night.

Our 4th graders kicked off ISAT season with an exciting Glow Party, bringing energy and positivity to testing season! South Hills Middle School counselors also visited our 5th graders, helping ease nerves about middle school while sharing information about electives and what to expect next year.

Our coin challenge is still going strong, with students excitedly competing and showing school spirit as they work toward their grade-level goals!

To top it all off, one of our 5th graders celebrated a big win—passing his multiples test! Even better, his braces are off, and he’s ready to celebrate with gumballs! 🍬

Peanut butter & jelly for FUNctional Friday today! Thank you to our Canyon Ridge High School student helpers today. A language rich and fine motor activity to make and cut PB&J sandwiches.

Mrs. Ferrara's class kicked off state testing with a glow party! Class work is much more fun when it glows!

Congrats, Ms. Ferrara's class for being the fourth correct response to our "What's This Song?!?" Wednesday Award game. This is their second time this year! This week's song was "Happy" performed by Pharrell Williams

Grateful for amazing long-term subs who step in and make a difference every single day 💛

Mrs. Coombs’ class took some time to write heartfelt thank-you notes to Mrs. Boeddiker to show just how much she’s appreciated. We are so lucky to have such caring and dedicated educators supporting our students! ✏️🍎

Shout out to Ms. Tubbs's class! They were the fifth correct response to the last our Disney weeks for the "What's This Song?!?" Wednesday Award. This week's song was "I'll Make a Man Out of You" from Mulan.

Mrs. Ferrara's class has been studying decimals and the relationship between tenths and hundredths. Today, we were the staff of Ferrara's Hamburger Hut. We had to take orders from customers and calculate the price. We used knowledge of addition, decimals, tenths, hundredths, and our listening and speaking skills.
