Join us as we celebrate Month of the Military Child with a district-wide Spirit Week, April 13–17!

Monday, April 13: Kick things off in red, white, and blue 🇺🇸
Tuesday, April 14: Hats off to our military, wear your favorite hat 🎩
Wednesday, April 15: PURPLE UP! Let’s fill the halls with purple 💜
Thursday, April 16: Tie a yellow ribbon, wear yellow 🎗️
Friday, April 17: R.E.D. Remember Everyone Deployed, wear red ❤️

Let’s come together and show our appreciation for our military-connected students all week long!

We will have our Muffins with Mom event on Friday, May 8th from 8:00am-8:30am. Parents who are participating in this event will need to bring their students to school that morning. After Muffins with Mom, the students will then report to their homeroom class.

Mrs. Walker’s fifth-grade students had a fun opportunity to review ELA standards during an egg hunt activity. Students worked with partners to answer questions and practice important skills such as using context clues, analyzing figurative language, and fine-tuning their editing skills. To make the day even more special, students also got to spend time with Mrs. Walker’s pet rabbit, Bun Bun. Bun Bun enjoyed hopping around outside while students worked together and enjoyed the beautiful day.

Our 2nd-graders have been busy exploring the world of maps! Students recently learned how to use a compass rose to identify directions like north, south, east, and west. Through hands-on activities and map exploration, they began to understand how we navigate from one place to another.

Here are our events that are happening for the month of April. Proud to be MLG!

Reminder: Mamie Lou Gross will have an early release day on Friday, March 27. Students will have lunch before being dismissed at 12:15pm.

We had a fantastic time at Bingo night!
Thank you to all of our wonderful families who came out to join the fun. Your support, laughter, and excitement made the evening so special for students and staff. Events like these help strengthen our school community, and we are so grateful to have such amazing parents. We hope that you enjoyed the games, prizes, and time spent together - we can't wait to do it again!
