Libros y Lattes = Success! ☕📚
Last week, our amazing staff gathered in the Library for a cozy afternoon of books, beverages, and great conversation.
We showcased the fantastic new collection of books brought back from Guadalajara, Mexico — now part of our Library! Teachers and staff enjoyed sipping lattes, snacking, and browsing through fresh reads to spark curiosity for their classrooms.
A huge thank you to Jennifer Egstad and Audra Klum for organizing this brew-tiful event! Your effort and creativity made it such a special time for our staff.

Guess who stopped by last week?! Lincoln High School athletes (former Sonia Sotomayor students) came back to visit!
They jumped right in during PE, playing games, running around, and having a blast with our students.
Our kids loved seeing these role models in action — and it was so fun to welcome them back where it all started!
Once a Lobo, always a Lobo!

This week is also National Arts in Education Week!
It’s the perfect opportunity to celebrate the amazing work of our art teachers - Tessa VanRavensway & Maggie Moeller. Through their creativity, passion, and dedication, our art teachers help students build confidence, discover new ways to express themselves, and develop a deeper appreciation for the world around them. They inspire imagination, nurture talent, and show students that their voices and ideas truly matter.
Thank you both for everything you do—we appreciate you! 🎨💜

☕✨ Coffee on the Playground was a hit! ✨
A huge thank-you to our amazing PTO and The Source for treating our families and staff to a full-service coffee cart this morning!
From hot lattes to iced tea, it was the perfect morning pick-me-up—and a wonderful way to connect with one another before the school day.
We are so grateful for our PTO for making mornings like this possible!
