📚 Book March Madness   How it started vs. how it’s going! First grade is officially in week two of our March Madness: Book Edition, and the excitement is real! The students are loving this tournament-style battle of books as they read, compare, and vote for their favorites. It’s been so fun watching them cheer on their picks and see which stories advance to the next round. 📖🏆 Check back soon to see how our bracket is shaping up and which book will take the championship!

We were honored to welcome Representative Stacy Jo Adams as our guest reader this morning! She shared the inspiring story What Do You Do With an Idea? by Kobi Yamada, a beautiful reminder that even the smallest ideas can grow into something powerful when we nurture them with courage and confidence. We’re so thankful for community leaders who take time to invest in our students and encourage them to dream big, believe in their ideas, and grow into future innovators.
