Check out the April calendar of events from the Sosa Center. They provide so many resources for our families across the district.
Today we had our STAAR parade, encouraging our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders to ROCK their STAAR test tomorrow! They have prepared so hard all year long and we know they are ready!!
Just a reminder that tomorrow is STAAR testing for all of our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders! Please make sure your child is here on time. They need to leave all backpacks at home.
Check out what is happening in the art room!
3rd grade pinch pot candles using recycled crayons and scented oil.
4th grades masks are being placed on display
5th grade is finishing up their board games. I can't wait to play them. Do you wanna try them? Look out for an opportunity.
