📚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.

Ed leaders: What are your favorite books for leadership development and building strong teams?
I would love to hear your recommendations! Drop them below ⬇️
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
🏴☠️ Li’l Pirate Proud 🏴☠️
It was a great weekend to be a Li’l Pirate! Our Girls in STEM participated in an engineering challenge and our unified athletes competed in the Special Olympics track meet. Our school hosts activities and clubs for all interests! #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!
Our students aren’t the only ones doing the learning! Our staff has been engaged in lots of professional learning opportunities from walkthroughs & feedback to planning and modeling - we are creating opportunities for growth and reflection! #LilPirateProud
🥶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
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!
