📚Growing READERS & LEADERS 📚

Our Ts are using the science of reading to unlock the magic of reading for our students! Through multi-sensory methods, they’re helping young learners crack the code of language—one sound at a time.

One of my biggest blessings in my new role as principal is this girl right here ⬇️

Having an AP that walks her talk, challenges the status quo, and is always down for fun makes our school feel like a place where anything is possible! #LilPirateProud

Our Ts became the Ss this week as they engaged in professional learning!

Our K-3 teachers learned about effective feedback while our ESE teachers collaborated on ways to build strong teamwork.

We ❤️ when our BIG Li’l Pirates LEAD by example by continuing their LEARNING!

🥶Polar Plunge 2025 🥶

Our PBE team took the plunge at Aquatica today! We raised more than $800 to support Special Olympics. It was my first plunge - but definitely won’t be the last! #LilPirateProud

[Sarah Van Brimmer @svanbrimmer]

For my birthday this year I am raising funds for the Special Olympics! This is near and dear to my heart and my school has an amazing team!

I am participating in the Polar Plunge in a couple weeks - and I would love to raise $100 for our team!
