Our 1st graders completed their very first Lego Science lesson this week! 🎉

Our young engineers put their creativity and problem-solving skills to the test by designing the most amazing—and safest—skateboards. Through hands-on building, they explored essential safety features while learning key science and engineering concepts.

We are so proud of our innovative Red Hawks and can't wait to see what they create next! ❤️🧱

Dear Red Hawk Families -

Please be aware that today, August 18, 2026, Malvern Elementary students and staff participated in a campus emergency drill. This was a Fire Drill according to our Standard Response Protocol. Students and staff have discussed our campus emergency procedures and we will continue to review these throughout the school year.

Student safety is always our top priority and practicing these drills further prepares our students and staff for emergency situations.

For additional information regarding our emergency procedures, please visit our website. As always, we appreciate your support to keep our students safe and focused on learning.
