🌟 Walk to School Day! 🌟 Today our Panthers from Pre-K3 through 5th grade laced up their sneakers and joined together for a special Walk to School Day! Students walked hand-in-hand with their buddy classes to James T. Wright Park, celebrating community, wellness, and Panther pride 🐾. The morning was filled with smiles, laughter, and a sense of togetherness as younger and older students encouraged each other along the way. Events like this remind us that every step is a chance to grow stronger—both as individuals and as a school family. Thank you to our staff, families, and community partners for making this day such a success.

🚀 Robotics Fun in Media Today! 🤖 Over the summer, we received brand-new robots, and today was the very first time students got to try them out. Students from multiple grade levels jumped right in—exploring, building, coding, and testing the robots. It was amazing to see their teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving skills come to life. The room was filled with curiosity, excitement, and plenty of “aha!” moments. This is just the beginning of many hands-on STEM adventures this year, and we can’t wait to see what our Panthers will create next! 🐾✨

Mrs. Nagel’s 1st class talked about cooperation and what it means to cooperate in our community using our Conscious Discipline strategies!

A big thank you to The Red Shef food truck for serving our families delicious meals.
