Throughout December, we will be very busy learning about compassion here at school-what it means, how it will help us and how we can do it! Learning happens best when it is done both at school and at home. In the attached image, you will find many ways that you can help your child continue to learn about the theme of compassion through reading about it, talking about it, and practicing it! We are really excited to begin exploring this topic at school, and we hope your family will enjoy it just as much!


SMGS: Join us for a special, December TOPs night! See the live feed for more details. Order your cookie kit by 12/4.


We are excited to share our ACE: After Class Enrichment Spring Program Guide with you!

Whether your child is interested in exploring new skills or building on existing ones, we have something for everyone. Applications for the Spring ACE classes will be available in the first part of December.
