🍞✨ Shoutout to Mrs. Taber for rising to the occasion in our "Try Something New" Summer Challenge! Recently, she baked her very first sourdough loaf—and shared that it actually looked (and smelled!) like real bread! 🙌💛
With a little help from Mrs. Miller and a lot of love from her girls, “Betty” the starter got all the attention she needed. Even with a few moments of doubt, Mrs. Taber stuck with it—and we’re so glad she did!

Congratulations to Mrs. Wood, an Illinois School Counselor of the Year Honoree! We are so proud of her and the difference she makes every day!


🎆❤️ Shoutout to Mrs. Nelson for embracing the "Try Something New" Summer Challenge in true DIY spirit! She watched YouTube tutorials and created her very first Fourth of July wreath — and wow, what a festive result! ✨
It took longer than expected and came with its fair share of trial and error, but Mrs. Nelson stuck with it. Along the way, she gained a whole new appreciation for the talent and effort behind handmade wreaths. 💐👏
Trying something new isn’t always easy — but it’s always worth it. Way to go, Mrs. Nelson!

🐶✨ Shoutout to Mrs. Higgs for another amazing first in our "Try Something New" Summer Challenge! She just finished this adorable patchwork pup—her very first stuffed animal ever! 🧵💛
With lots of creativity and a little leap outside her comfort zone, she brought this sweet little dog to life. We’re so impressed!

🌞 Happy First Day of Summer! We're excited to kick off our "Try Something New" Summer Challenge—and Mrs. Miller is leading the way!
She took on a quilt challenge for the fair, where participants were given a paw print fabric and the task of creating a quilted bag of any kind. With no pattern and lots of creativity, she winged it and made this amazing bag—her first ever! 🧵🐾We’re officially inspired! 🙌

We want to thank everyone for their patience with our late dismissal today as we worked to keep all students safe. Busses left the building shortly after 3:30, so please plan on busses running around 30 minutes late. Thank you again!

Due to the ongoing Tornado Warning, we will be releasing students when the warning is over.

We are looking for substitute drivers and drivers for extracurricular events! If you've always wondered what being a bus driver is like, come and find out on June 2nd!


Save the Date!


Congratulations to these Students of the Quarter! We recognized Nicole and Grace at this week's Cambridge Rotary Club meeting!
