May 1, 2026, is School Lunch Hero Day, a meaningful occasion to celebrate the contributions of school nutrition professionals. These dedicated individuals have an essential role in our school communities, ensuring that students receive nourishing and healthy meals each day. Their commitment not only supports the physical well-being of our children but also fuels their ability to learn, grow, and thrive in the classroom.

Thank you to Lake Geneva Food Service for being our service provider!

This week we celebrated Bus Driver Appreciation Day, and we want to take a moment to recognize the incredible individuals who safely transport our students each and every day. 🚌 Our bus drivers do so much more than get kids from point A to point B—they are often the first friendly face in the morning and the last at the end of the school day. Their dedication, patience, and commitment to safety do not go unnoticed. We are truly grateful for the care they show our students and the important role they play in our school community. Thank you for going the extra mile to ensure our kids arrive to and from school safely! 💛

Our 4K outreach trip to Seno Conservancy was a wonderful hands-on learning experience filled with discovery, creativity, and connection to nature. Students explored the outdoors using their senses—observing sights, listening to sounds, touching natural textures, smelling plants and flowers.
Throughout the event, children participated in engaging activities including worm art, flower and plant art, and a five senses scavenger hunt that encouraged curiosity and exploration. These experiences helped bring classroom learning to life while fostering an appreciation for the natural world.

The trip was filled with excitement and meaningful outdoor learning. We are grateful for the opportunity to provide our students with experiences that inspire wonder, encourage exploration, and build lasting connections with nature and families.
