🎉 Happy New Year! 🎉
We hope you had a restful and joyful break. As we begin this new year, let’s come back ready to learn, grow, and support one another. We’re excited to see your smiling faces tomorrow and start a fresh chapter together. Let’s make it a great 2026!

🍨❄️ WE DID THAT. ❄️🍨 Our students crushed our December school-wide attendance goal, and as promised…our Assistant Principal, Mr. Pilger, became a human ice cream sundae!! Ice cream? ✔️ Strawberry syrup? ✔️ Chocolate syrup? ✔️ Marshmallows? ✔️ Sprinkles? ✔️ Cherries? ✔️ A very good sport? MOST DEFINITELY ✔️ Way to show up, show out, and earn the sweetest reward! Moral of the story: Attendance wins. Students win. Mr. Pilger… well, he survived 😝👏🎉 #AttendanceMatters #StudentPower

❄️⛄️ Snow Much Fun! Our Winter Edition Minute to Win It games had students (and staff) racing, scooping, tossing, and cheering each other on. Cold games, warm smiles! 💙🎄

🎄You’ve Been Elf’d — Final Winners! 🎄 The elves have made their final move! After a week of festive fun, friendly competition, and plenty of surprises, we’re excited to celebrate our final “You’ve Been Elf’d” winners of the week—complete with their well-earned prizes! 🎁👏 Thanks to all our staff for playing along and bringing so much holiday cheer (and feistiness!).

🫶 This season, we celebrate the diversity of traditions that make our school community so special.

💚 There were several students and staff sporting green today and/or Grinchwear. 😍 Here's a glimpse of Mrs. Stinnett's crew (and check out their 10-lesson "tree" math challenge progress behind them)! Don't forget the fan favorite dress up day tomorrow: Pajama Day! Let's wrap up 2025 in comfort!

🍩💙 This morning we celebrated those who embody Empathy with a character trait clap-out and a donut celebration! Our students were recognized for understanding and connecting with other people's feelings—what a sweet way to honor such an important trait. 🌟

💚 😈 You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch! 😈💚
When the assistant principal has all 6 circulating elves and that grin… you know something’s up! 😏 "You’ve Been ELF’d" - Game On!! Those Polar Pilger elves and Frosty Frieden elves are highly coveted around here this week!

Mrs. Jacob's 5th grade class talent show was amazing! Students showcased a wide variety of talents including singing, soccer, basketball, volleyball, dodgeball, baton, magic, art, instruments, and even advertising! We are so proud of their creativity, confidence, and courage.

Despite all the shenanigans (elf swiping, hunting for trinkets around the building to win a duck, dress-up days, etc.), our students are still working hard to fill those brains to the brim before break!

❄️ Yesterday's teambuilder brought some holiday fun to Ms. Collins' 5th Grade classroom! Students teamed up to stack marshmallows using only candy canes. No hands allowed! They had a great time practicing teamwork and problem-solving. ❄️
