Today we celebrate 100 days of learning, growing, and kindness! Our students have worked so hard, and it is amazing to see how much they have learned in just 100 days. Thank you to our teachers, staff, and families for supporting our students every step of the way.
All winners and runners-up will have their artwork displayed by the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum (ALPLM) beginning March 9, 2026, in celebration of Arts Education Week. Congratulations, Armani!
This week, we join schools across the nation in celebrating National School Choice Week—a time to recognize the importance of educational options and the power of families to choose the learning environment that best fits their children’s needs.
