Field Day 25-26 was a HUGE success, and we are excited to recognize the talented student artist behind this year’s winning Field Day T-shirt design!

Our 5th grade students brought incredible creativity and school spirit to the contest, and the selected design looked amazing on shirts across campus during yesterday's and today’s events. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this Field Day such a fun and memorable day for our Bulldawgs!💙💛🐾

Our 2nd Grade Robotics Club brought the excitement at the 2025-2026 Robotics Showcase at CPE. Students showed off their coding skills with “Dash” robots as they tackled the lava field challenge, the Dash Cone Grand Prix, and Calm Mission Coding activities. They also got a look at what’s ahead by watching 3rd-5th graders compete with more advanced builds. Families even jumped in to try the courses and quickly learned that coding takes patience and practice. We definitely have some future engineers in the making.

• 2nd: 93.80%
• 3rd: 93.23%

As we head into the last month of the 2025-2026 school year, these final weeks truly matter. Let’s make them count by showing up every day, on time, and ready to learn. Thank you, families, for your continued support! We’re stronger when we work together. Let’s finish strong, Bulldawgs! 💛💙🐾
