🎉 High Attendance Day is September 9th! 🎉
Our amazing PTO has planned a full day of fun activities to celebrate our students and the importance of showing up! Let’s pack the house, Koalas—make sure you’re here and on time Tuesday, Sept. 9th, so you don’t miss out on the celebration. 🐨
This week’s student spotlight shines on Michael R.!
Michael noticed a friend looking for a seat and quickly offered his own spot so they could feel included. His thoughtful action showed kindness, awareness of others, and what it means to be a productive collaborator.

🍦✨ Big news from 2nd grade — our Koalas are kicking off a sweet new PBL: Junior Ice Cream Innovators!
Students will dive into science by exploring how materials change and classifying their properties, then bring in ELA by writing opinion pieces to prove why their ice cream flavor is the best. The top flavors will be chosen and—thanks to our friends at Scoops & Such—actually SOLD at the Fall Festival! 🎉
📸 Today we celebrated the kickoff with a special visit from Scoops, who gave us a behind-the-scenes look at the magic of making ice cream.

Mrs. Siegel’s class practiced teamwork through the Spaghetti STEM Challenge. Students built their structures twice—after the first attempt, they reflected on what went well, what needed improvement, and how to be productive collaborators. Using their new strategies, they made adjustments and worked together more effectively during the second round.
Student Spotlight: Coleman
Coleman is recognized for pausing his own work to help a classmate finish their task. He consistently shows kindness and compassion, and demonstrated the BCPS Graduate Profile skills of being an Effective Communicator and a Self-Directed Navigator as he guided and supported his peer.
