Our Tiger Tots helped spread a little extra joy during Teacher Appreciation Week! 🌸🐯

On Friday, our daycare students delivered a flower to every staff member as a small thank you for all they do each day. The smiles on everyone’s faces were priceless, and our Tiger Tots loved being part of making our staff feel appreciated.

We are so thankful for the amazing teachers and staff who make our school such a special place! πŸ’›

Thank you to families and friends of LWJE students for the extraordinary support for this year's Book Blast Campaign. This effort is to give kids books to add to or begin building home libraries, which research continually shows helps build strong and fluent readers. There was a lot of excitement as students unwrapped their book gifts, and we were excited to celebrate three treasure box winners: Adalynn, Lakota, and Raylee, in addition to our Epic Treasure Box winner: Olivia!

Book access builds better readers! ##bookblastadventures #booksarefun

Today, our school was filled with magic, joy, and a whole lot of holiday cheer as we celebrated Polar Express Day! Students arrived in cozy pajamas, enjoyed special treats, and took part in festive activities inspired by the beloved story. From hot chocolate smiles to laughter echoing through the halls, it was a day full of memories we’ll treasure.

A huge thank you to the volunteers and community partners for bringing this magical experience to life! We truly believeβ€”just like the Polar Express reminds usβ€”to always hold on to the magic of the season! πŸŽ„β„οΈ
