Mrs. Peterson’s first-grade class and invited guests had a front-row seat to enjoy a musical selection conducted by their classmate B. Reynolds.  Reynolds started playing the piano at the young age of three. He has never had any formal lessons and does not know how to read or write sheet music. All his natural talent began on an iPad app. He is now self-taught by listening to songs and repeated practice. This goes to show that with practice and hard work, anything is possible!

Over the past few weeks, students and teachers have worked very hard to “show what they can do” on the third progress monitoring assessment of the F.A.S.T. Assessment.

The MSE prize patrol came out to their homes and surprised them with a sign and a ten-minute party.

Oak Hammock’s 8th-grade students enjoyed a fun-filled night at the theme park. They had an opportunity to enjoy peers and teachers outside of the school and classroom setting.

Our Phin Nation Cheerleaders at Floresta Elementary School encouraged our third through fifth-grade students in preparation for their FAST testing. Their message was “Try your hardest; do your best; but always remember YOU are more than a test!”  We believe in all of our Dolphins!

Morningside students brought their “A” game as we continued state testing. Teachers and staff wrote encouraging messages on home plates for our students to read on their way into school. Then, they lined the halls to cheer them on and get them excited about doing their best. We are so proud of our Blue Jays and all their hard work! They brought their “A game” and knocked it out of the park! ⚾️
