🎡 What an incredible way to celebrate the end of state testing for our 3rd–5th graders! After weeks of hard work, focus, and perseverance, our learners deserved a day full of fun, laughter, and celebration at our school carnival! 🎉✨

From games and music to treats and unforgettable memories, the day was filled with joy and community spirit. We are so proud of our learners for giving their best effort during testing and showing so much determination throughout the process. ❤️

A huge thank you to all of our amazing volunteers, families, and staff members who helped make this event such a success. Your donations, time, energy, and support made this celebration possible, and we are so grateful for everything you do for our school community.

Events like these are a beautiful reminder of what makes our school so special — a strong community that comes together to support, encourage, and celebrate our learners every step of the way. 🎠🍿🎟️

Started as sketches in notebooks, then pushed further—traveling across Manhattan and Elmhurst, studying other artists, revising our ideas, and voting as a grade to narrow it down. The final mural blends our top concepts into one piece.
It reflects how we work as a team—holding onto challenges, learning from them, and turning them into something stronger. The heart marks who we are individually, and what happens when we come together to build something bigger than any one of us. 🎨🖌️

🌵🌿 First grade has been exploring North American biomes as part of their Humanities unit! During their visit to the botanical gardens, students experienced both desert and rainforest biomes firsthand, comparing plants and discovering the amazing adaptations that help them survive in different environments.
Our young researchers investigated, observed, and learned so much — and they’ll be using their discoveries in their upcoming Biomes Exhibition! 🌎✨

Happy Principal Appreciation Day! 🍎✨

Today we celebrate the heart of our school — our incredible principal 💙📚

Thank you for your leadership, your kindness, and the countless ways you support our learners, staff, and families every single day. Your dedication helps create a place where learning thrives and everyone feels valued.

We are so grateful for all that you do — today and every day.

🌸 Our 5th graders continued their learning journey with a beautiful visit to the Botanical Garden! Surrounded by incredible plant life, learners explored biodiversity, discovered how ecosystems thrive, and deepened their connection to nature. It was a day filled with curiosity, exploration, and meaningful outdoor learning. 🌿🌼

Exploring science in action! 🧪 Our 5th graders investigated chemical reactions as part of their matter unit, observing how substances change while mass remains constant—an important principle known as the law of conservation of mass. Through hands-on experiments, students developed their understanding of how matter behaves and transforms.
