🎶 Celebrating National Arts in Education Week! 🎭

As we wrap up this week of honoring the arts in our schools, we want to recognize our chorus teacher, Mr. Chesnutt. His guidance helps students grow not only as performers, but as confident individuals who discover the joy of learning through music!

Thank you, Mr. Chesnutt! We’re so lucky to have you!

Today, we honor and remember those affected by the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Students in Ms. Jett’s class engaged in a meaningful lesson to reflect on the impact of 9/11, exploring themes of courage, unity, and resilience. Through shared stories and thoughtful discussion, we pay tribute to the lives lost and the heroes who emerged. Let us never forget.
