🌟 STALLION STAR CELEBRATION: The Inflata-Run! 🌟
Our students have officially reached their goal, and the reward was nothing short of legendary! To celebrate earning enough Stallion Stars, our staff took to the field for a Fun Run like no other.

The competition was fierce (and very bouncy). Our inflatable athletes included:
The Unicorn: Pure magic on the track.
The Dinosaurs: A prehistoric powerhouse.
The Zebra: Sporting the fastest stripes in the district.
The Chameleon: We’re not sure if they won because they kept blending into the grass!
The Flamingo: Putting a whole new meaning to "running on one leg."
The Air Dancer: Bringing that chaotic, wavy energy to the finish line.
The Bunny: Giving "Fast and Furry-ous" a whole new meaning
The Shark: Managed to race alongside the flamingo without a single "shark attack." Now that’s what we call being respectful!

If you would like to watch the run, you can go to the uploaded video on Youtube: https://youtu.be/kP3uQuSYQpI

Big Cheers for Our Bluebonnet Readers! 📚

Our library was buzzing this morning as 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students gathered for a special Bluebonnet Breakfast. This delicious celebration was a hard-earned reward for students who read at least 10 of the 20 Bluebonnet Award nominees this year.

Congratulations to all the students who rose to the challenge and turned so many pages! We are so proud of your dedication to reading.

Students in 5th grade participated in a Poetry Slam this past Friday. This is the final piece of our PBL project with the driving question "How can I use poetry to express my identity?" Students used the elements of poetry to write their own poems about their identity. Students performed one poem in a class-wide poetry slam, and the top-voted students from each class performed at the grade-wide event.
