🎨🌸 Creating Rangolis in Kindergarten!
Mrs. Richardson’s Kindergarten class had so much fun making Rangolis! Rangolis are beautiful designs made on the floor using colorful materials like rice, sand, or flower petals. They are a traditional art form from India, often created to celebrate festivals and bring good luck.
Our Bluejays loved expressing their creativity while learning about this vibrant cultural tradition!

💙 Happy Principal’s Day, Mr. Becker! 💙
This morning our staff came together for a special breakfast to celebrate one of the best — Mr. Becker! We’re so grateful for his leadership, kindness, and the way he goes above and beyond every single day. Whether he’s dressing up and reading to the kids, walking students to class, making sure everyone feels welcome and valued, or even getting globs of food smashed on him for a good cause, Mr. Becker tackles everything that comes his way with a smile and a big heart.
We’re lucky to have a principal who truly leads with care and makes our school such a special place!
