Happy Earth Day! Today our students celebrated by creating fun Earth Day crafts and enjoying nature walks around our community. It was a wonderful day of learning about the importance of caring for our planet while exploring the beauty of the world around us.

Behind every successful school is a team that keeps everything running smoothly—and our administrative professionals are at the heart of it all. From greeting students and families to managing the details that keep our days on track, their dedication, organization, and care make a difference in every building, every day. Thank you Mrs. Madison Millan, Mrs. Jonna Rohrbaugh, and Mrs. Landy Oliver for all you do! #WolverineWay

All students will be dismissed at 2:00 today for Teacher Professional Development. #GrowAtSO #WolverineWay
