🐆 It’s All About the Students! 🎓
Today was Celebrating Our Students day, and the energy in the building was electric! We honored our Jaguars with a well-deserved day of fun, laughter, and school spirit.

It was been a jam-packed day of celebration:
Casual Dress Day 👕 (Comfy Jaguars are happy Jaguars!)
Special Lunch 🍕 (A delicious treat for our hard-working students.)
Minute-to-Win-It Games ⏱️ (The competition was fierce!)
Surprise Flash Mob 💃 (Nothing beats an all-school dance party!)

The highlight of the afternoon? Our 8th Graders vs. Teachers Volleyball Game! 🏐 Let’s just say the teachers had a bit of a "growth spurt" as they took the court in hilarious blow-up costumes! 🦖🎈 It was a match we won't soon forget.

The 5th grade spent the first week of the new year focusing on goal setting, resetting expectations, and strengthening social-emotional skills. Students have been reflecting on personal and academic goals while re-establishing classroom routines and expectations to set themselves up for success in 2026.

We have also begun implementing our new Kagan training strategies alongside our SEL curriculum, which emphasize collaboration and relationship-building. Through buddy activities, pair-shares, and structured discussions, students are learning how to communicate effectively, support one another, and build stronger connections within our classroom community.

We are proud of the positive start to the year and look forward to continued growth both academically and socially, as we move forward together. 💙💛
