Thanks to a school building project, our elementary school boasts state-of-the-art technology, with computers in each classroom in addition to a computer lab; a large, bright media center; and a cafeteria featuring a mural of life-sized "ABCs," depicting each letter with items that represent the sound for children to learn from. This mural was designed by our art teacher, and painted by parents, students and volunteers.

Math Mentors Beginning the last week of February, over 50 students from Grades 4-6 became “Math Mentors.” This program is the “brain child” of Ms. Koziel, Grade 4 teacher. Our mentors will help students in Grades 1-3 with basic math concepts and skills through a variety of math activities and games. The 55 “mentees” are picked up by their mentors once a week and spend 30 minutes reinforcing grade level math skills. This program not only provides students in Grades 1-3 with an opportunity to enhance math concepts, but it also allows mentors to strengthen their leadership skills by working with and guiding their younger peers.
