Although last week’s North Texas ice storm kept us out of school for four days, we are ready to jump back in and keep the kindness going! This week we are celebrating by dressing up each day. Monday is Sparkle & Shine Day! Wear something that sparkles, shines, or is bright/colorful - like colorful shirts, shiny shoes, or sparkly accessories!

Looks like Rocky the Red Hawk has officially declared it a Snow Day and is practicing his best snow angel form! Due to the major winter storm impacting North Texas, there will be NO SCHOOL on Monday. Stay safe, stay warm, and try not to outdo Rocky’s snow angel skills! We’ll see our Red Hawks once the snow melts. #EveryStudentEveryDay #RedHawksRising

Our 3rd grade students recently attended a field trip to Interskate Roller Rink, where they participated in a hands-on learning experience focused on force, motion, and friction. Through guided activities and skating demonstrations, students observed how push and pulls create movement and how friction affects speed and stopping. This real-world experience helped reinforce classroom science concepts in an engaging and meaningful way. #EveryStudentEveryDay #RedHawksRising
