📚✨ Reading Buddies are back! ✨📚
This year, Ms. G’s 4th graders and Mrs. Widdicombe’s 1st graders are paired up as Reading Buddies! 💙 Each of our lower-grade classrooms is partnered with an upper-grade classroom to build friendships, practice reading, and work on fun projects and activities together.
Our younger Trailblazers love encouraging their older buddies, especially during state testing, and our older students get the chance to be role models and leaders. It’s a tradition that helps build community, confidence, and a love for learning across our school! 🌟

🌞 Our Sunshine Committee brightened up the afternoon yesterday with a festive surprise for our teachers and staff! 🎉 They rolled out a “Let’s Fiesta” cart filled with chips, homemade salsa, guacamole, and queso, made with love by our committee members. 💛🪅 A perfect little pick-me-up to show our appreciation for all the hard work our staff puts in every day!
This morning, the Fiesta Council visited our 4th graders! 🎉 As our students are studying New Mexico history, this was a special opportunity to connect their learning with our community’s traditions. The council introduced themselves, invited our students to join in the Fiesta celebrations, and wrapped up their visit with some fun and lively dances. 💃🕺 Our 4th graders had a wonderful time learning and experiencing this special tradition!

Our first Walk and Roll event of the year was a great success! Thank you to all the students and parents/guardians who joined us. A special thanks to Mrs. Jones and Coach Chavez for running our Walk and Roll program in partnership with Safe Routes to School! This year, we have punch cards for every time you join us for Walk and Roll, you also get a bike or croc charm! We hope to see you next Wednesday!
Join us for Walk & Roll Wednesday!
Every Wednesday, weather permitting, we meet at 7:30 AM at the Rancho Viejo North Park Plaza under the shade structure to walk or roll to school together.
Not only is it a great way to get your wiggles out and arrive energized, walking or rolling to school builds healthy habits that strengthen bodies and minds. It helps students arrive ready to learn, sharp and alert. Plus, by reducing car traffic around our school, we enjoy cleaner air, a quieter neighborhood, and a stronger sense of community.
👉 Parents, please check in your child with Mrs. Jones or Coach Chavez at drop-off and let them know if your child will be:
Walking/rolling back to the park after school OR
Getting picked up at school
🚶♀️🚴♂️ Parents are welcome (and encouraged!) to walk or ride with us too, let’s make it a family and community event!
Let’s roll together for fun, fitness, focus, and friendship!
Reminder: If it’s got wheels, you need a helmet!
