Ms. Russell's 3rd graders showed off their teamwork and problem-solving this week in a bridge-building challenge!
Each group worked together to try out ideas, pick the best design, and then put their bridge to the test with pennies.

Exciting news on the Pre-K playground this week …
Our Westside maintenance team installed a brand new tunnel for our students to enjoy. The pre-k crew was front row for the action—watching, cheering, and celebrating every step of the way!
The best part? Once the tunnel was ready, the maintenance team got to see the kids’ faces light up as they took turns crawling through for the very first time.
Big thanks to our maintenance team for making playtime even more fun!
