The Rocketman Summit brought students together for an inspiring day of leadership, mentorship, teamwork, and personal growth. Through fun activities, meaningful conversations, and hands-on experiences, students were encouraged to boost their confidence, build stronger relationships, and develop the skills to become positive leaders both in school and in their community.

Congratulations to our second-grade students who earned this year’s Watch Me Grow awards. Based upon our MAP benchmark assessments, these students grew at the 90th percentile or above in either reading, math, or both! This is such a great accomplishment and we were excited to celebrate! Thank you to all of our teachers and parents for their hard work and partnership in helping all of our children attain high levels of success!
