Today was filled with laughter, memories, and traditions that make wrapping up the school year extra special! ❤️

🎓 Our Senior walkthrough was an unforgettable moment as elementary students lined the halls to cheer on our graduating seniors in their caps and gowns. High fives, smiles, and congratulations filled the building as younger students looked up to the Class of 2026 with pride and excitement for their futures!

💧 Students stayed cool and had a blast during our water activities, getting completely soaked while enjoying fun in the sun with friends and staff.

🥎 One of our favorite traditions returned — the annual Staff vs. 5th Grade Kickball Game! The competition was fierce, the laughs were nonstop, and memories were definitely made on the field.

🚍 We ended the day with our exciting Water Sendoff as teachers lined up to spray students — and even the buses — goodbye for the summer! A perfect splash-filled ending to a day full of end-of-the-year fun.

Just one more day… here we come summer! ☀️😎

After an incredible journey in education, we celebrate a well-deserved retirement!

From her very first year in the classroom to her final one, her dedication, kindness, and passion for teaching have left a lasting impact on countless students and colleagues. Generations have benefited from her patience, encouragement, and unwavering commitment to helping others grow.

While we will miss her presence in the halls and the classroom, we are so excited for this next chapter filled with new adventures, relaxation, and time to enjoy all the things she loves.

Thank you for everything you’ve given over the years—you’ve truly made a difference.

HAPPY RETIREMENT, ANDREA WELTER!
