STUDENT SPOTLIGHTS

Take a look at what the students are writing these days!  Click on the STUDENT WORK tab at the top of the page to read their writing.  Both are from weekend writings and they showcase how much the students have grown in their writing with specific examples and details.  The writings also give you an idea of how our kids view and understand what is happening in the world around them.
