Yesterday, Mrs. Jones and Ms. Sara's 2nd-grade WIN group mastered STEM puzzles while in the library ๐ง Great problem solving, lions!




"I can't promise to fix all your problems, but I can promise you won't have to face them alone." ๐งก Thank you Ms. Baker for standing alongside our littlest of lions and facing their problems as a team. We appreciate you BIG time!


Happy Birthday, Principal Brecheen! We are so thankful for all that you do! ๐

Wow is all we can say ๐งก Thank you to the Bogle family for paying off ALL the student lunch debt - not only at Upper Elementary, but also at Duffy Elementary. Two. Entire. Schools = no meal debt. We can't even begin to express what this will mean for our families, but just know there has already been happy cheers/tears and lots of hugs. Thank you for being apart of our lion pride and helping ALL students succeed ๐ฆ #experincethepride
