Ms. Feken & Ms. Basinger’s classes had 4 days of swimming, safety, and smiles with the YMCA’s SAW (Safety Around Water) program teaching life-saving water skills! 🏊‍♀️💙

Our 3rd Grade Rocket Rangers put leadership into action as they volunteered at the Salvation Army, preparing sack lunches for our friends in the downtown community. 🚀💙 This was more than just a service project—it was a powerful opportunity for our students to show what leadership looks like beyond our school walls. By stepping up to serve others, they truly lived out our commitment to immersing ourselves in our community and making a meaningful impact. We are so proud of the compassion, responsibility, and heart our Rockets continue to show! ✨

It was a day full of learning, curiosity, and fun! 🐾🌿
