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! 🌟
We are so proud to share that our caring Nurse Aide, Ms. Samar (Nurse Summer), has been awarded School Nurse Aide of the Year for the 2024–2025 school year! 🎉
We are so lucky to have her here at Amy Biehl. Thank you, Nurse Summer, for the incredible care, kindness, and support you give our students every single day. 💙👩⚕️✨
