🐣 Something EGG-citing is Happening in Preschool! 🐣
The wait is finally over! Our tiny scientists have been patiently watching the incubator for 21 days, and we are thrilled to announce that our fluffy new friends have officially arrived! This week, our classroom has been filled with soft chirps, lessons on how living things grow and tiny hands learning how to carefully care for new animals.
Check out these photos of our "Egg-perts" in action! 👇




The hatch is complete for Mrs. Bergan's 6th grade chick season. Now it is time to become friends.









Send all the good vibes to our incredible musicians as they head to the IHSMA Solo & Ensemble Contest tomorrow! 🎼 They’ll be traveling to Clayton Ridge to showcase their hard work, talent, and dedication. If you’re able, come out and support these performers. Seeing familiar faces in the audience means more than you know!

Our preschoolers have officially kicked off our ABC Countdown to Summer—and we are starting strong☀️🎉
Letter A Day was full of adventure with an ABC scavenger hunt and fun alphabet dances that had everyone moving and learning!
Letter B Day brought BIG excitement with bounce houses, bubbles, and balloons🎈
For Letter C Day, creativity took over with costume day (so many adorable outfits!) and making delicious cookies together—yum! 🍪
We can’t wait to keep the fun going as we count down to summer, one letter at a time!




We are excited to share out our Junior class officers for next year!

By joining Student Council early, students will learn how to represent their classmates, organize events, and be a positive voice in our school community. Your dedication, leadership, and commitment to your classmates have earned you this important role. We look forward to seeing the positive impact you will make next school year.
Well done, representatives!

Two of our ELP students recently put their creativity and leadership into action in a fun and meaningful way! After learning how to make balloon animals, they visited our preschool classrooms to celebrate their Letter B Day.
They created a special balloon for each preschool student and excitement to their day. It was a wonderful example of older students sharing their talents and spreading joy throughout our school community.
Great job representing ELP with kindness and creativity!
