Our Backdrop Architect
A “million” thanks to Brenda Fernandez for creating the most beautiful backdrop for our Million Dreams video. Each element of the staging was made to reflect the invitation’s design and the final result was stunning! It was the perfect backdrop to showcase our student’s – and Mrs. Fernandez’s – talents.

Literacy Week was a Sweet Surprise
|
|
|
|
|
Our students enjoyed a Hansel and Gretel puppet show…
|
|
|
|
Students put together wish lists and shopped at the book fair…
|
|
|
|
|
They “Dropped Everything And Read” daily…
|
|
|
|
…And were rewarded for being such wonderful readers!
