Water Park Trip...

Gage bumped heads and needed a little TLC...with an ice pack!

His friends were right there with him...

We had a GREAT time at the Water Park today!  We were so respectful and had the best time swimming with friends!  We were so PROUD of our third graders...Thanks for supporting us in this event!  Merry Christmas ...

Student of the Week...

This week's Student of the Week is Jackson. He did an AMAZING job on his poster.  Some of his favorites are the color green, cheetahs, popcorn, hockey, Geronimo Stilton books, math, reading, and art.  He is a star because he is helpful and a good friend to others.  Three things you may NOT know about Jackson are that he is 20 years younger than his mom and 50 years younger than his grandma, that he got to ride the Holiday Train this past week, and that his grandma played in a band.  When he grows up, he wants to be a car salesman.  Great Job, Jackson!       

Prowler Boys Basketball...

The Prowler Boys players were at Challenger for Prowler Pride.  They did a great job talking to us about basketball, school, and their future.  They are doing an AWESOME job in basketball.  GO PROWLERS...
