Hip hip hooray...it's K's first day! We had a PAWsome few days welcoming our Kindergarten families at Orientation yesterday and today on our Kindergarteners first day today! Looking forward to our ELC friends joining us tomorrow!

Today's spotlight is on Specials! During Specials our students get to showcase their creativity while learning through health, physical fitness, arts, music, and media!

Today's spotlight is on Grades 3 and 4! Our oldest students in the school are great role models for our younger grades and started the school year off with getting to know each other activities and scavenger hunts!

Tomorrow will be our first ELC/Thacher Thursday! On ELC/Thacher Thursdays, students and staff in ELC and TES show their PANDA PRIDE by wearing our school apparel/blue & white or by doing acts of kindness!

Check back throughout the week for photos of our different grade levels during their first days back to school. Today's spotlight is on Grades 1 and 2, working on classroom routines and getting to know their classmates/teacher activities!
