We are excited to share that our 7th-grade Aux Sable mentors had their first visit with our first graders this week during lunch and recess! This partnership is a wonderful way for our students to build positive connections and friendships with older role models, while our 7th graders practice leadership and responsibility. It was a great start to what we know will be a special experience for both groups!

For families with students in Grades 1–5, classroom sessions will follow:

Child care will be available during the teacher sessions.

We look forward to seeing you there!

We are excited to share a special opportunity during Curriculum Night in the Media Center! This year, our library theme is “Reading is My Superpower,” and we’d love for your child to show off their reading superpowers with a custom t-shirt or sweatshirt. Stop by the Media Center during Curriculum Night, with a plain t-shirt or sweatshirt in any color or size. Choose from our “Reading is My Superpower” decals ($3 each), and with my help, you’ll use the heat press to apply the decal. This is a fun way to celebrate reading, show school spirit, and create something your child will be proud to wear!
