🚌 IMPORTANT REMINDER: BUS LANE SAFETY 🚌

We received a call regarding vehicles parking in our designated bus area. This creates a safety concern for our students who ride the bus and causes difficulties for our buses arriving and departing safely.

Please DO NOT park in the bus lanes located on the south side of the school.

Keeping these areas clear helps ensure the safety of our students and allows our buses to arrive and depart smoothly.

Thank you for helping us keep our Mustangs safe!

During Rock Your School, the 4th and 5th grade Gifted and Talented classes added sugar to bubble solution to increase the elasticity and resilience of the bubbles. It was fun to investigate all the things these bubbles could do, like bounce, stretch and stack!
