Our 4th grade students did an incredible job bringing history to life through their Women’s History projects! 💜✨
We loved seeing the meaningful connections many students made while researching inspiring women in their own families. Two stories that truly stood out:
💫 One student honored her grandmother, a hero who was working in the Twin Towers during 9/11. She bravely helped others escape to safety, and her actions were later shared with the family by survivors.
🌍 Another student highlighted her grandmother, an accomplished anthropologist who has traveled the world for research, taught at the collegiate level, and is among the few Black anthropologists in her field.
We are so proud of our students for sharing such powerful, personal stories and celebrating the strength, courage, and impact of women everywhere! 💕👏

While Deputy Taylor was away at training, we were excited to welcome Deputy Ben and his K9 partner Deputy Barr to campus today! 🐾🚓

From temperature monitoring to built-in safety features, our students got a firsthand look at how officers take care of their four-legged partners.
