Please join us in celebrating Mrs. Venetia Smith, our Teacher of the Year!
Today, we are recognizing a teacher whose excellence embodies our motto: Excellence in Every Way, Every Day. She brings learning to life with intentional, precise instruction that helps students gain a deep understanding of their work. Her classroom is a place where curiosity grows, productive struggle is encouraged, and students gain confidence as problem solvers. We are so proud of you!

We’re excited to announce that for our class Winter party on Thursday, December 18, 2025, Students who receive a “Golden Ticket” will be allowed to wear school-approved pajamas that day — in the spirit of our Polar Express Day celebration.
Important Dress Guidelines:
• Pajamas must be school-appropriate (no onesies, robes, shorts, spaghetti straps, or nightgowns).
• Students wearing pajamas must wear proper school shoes with a rubber bottom, like tennis shoes (no slippers, boots, crocs, or house shoes).
• Pajama bottoms should be modest (no shorts), PANTS ONLY, and tops must cover shoulders and midriff.
If pajamas do not meet these guidelines, students will be asked to change into other appropriate clothing.
We hope this special dress-up day adds some fun and holiday spirit to our class party, while keeping safety and respect in mind. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
