“I was thinking recently about what the structure of our day looks like, and I realized that we sing a lot of songs in our class. Sometimes the kids sing with me, and sometimes I’m just doing a show by myself.”

We love our counselor, Mrs. Hayes! She visited our first graders to read a story and share some "power tools" for communication. Our students are learning to solve problems with their words and not their hands!

Minshew STUCO Seeing a Need, Taking Action!
Our Student Council noticed some fellow Colts struggling with their laces, so they stepped up to help! Stuco hosted a Shoe Tying Clinic to provide peer coaching before the bell rang.
Leadership is all about identifying a need and filling it. We are so proud of these students for helping their classmates gain confidence and independence.

New worlds, old favorites, and everything in between. Our 5th graders took over the library, diving into their favorite graphic novels and mysteries. There’s no sound quite like the "quiet hum" of students falling in love with a good book!







Spring break is March 16th to 20th! We will see you on March 23rd!
