💯✨ 100 Day Glow Up! ✨💯

We’re glowing with pride as we prepare to celebrate the 100th Day of School! Students are invited to wear neon or bright colors and fun accessories for our 100 Day Glow Up on January 16th. 🎉🌈

This day is all about celebrating how much learning, growing, and shining has happened over the last 100 days. From reading and writing to math and milestones, our students have truly glowed up this school year!

Let’s light up the day and celebrate all the learning so far! 💡📚✨

Students in Ms. Langston and Ms. Ollis’s class celebrated the end of their second module with a “square meal” and a final watch of “Who’s on First?” During this module, students studied the art of wordplay, traveled to the Kingdom of Wisdom, and learned what can happen when you don’t have any Rhyme or Reason! We wrapped up the week by watching The Phantom Tollbooth movie! #ColtsCanLearn
