1st grade and their teachers had a wonderful time singing and celebrating our Veterans yesterday. We want to send a BIG thank you to everyone who has served our country! We are so grateful for your sacrifice! Happy Veteran's Day!

ELITE Lego club yesterday: Self Portrait challenge.

The Kindergarteners and their teachers say a BIG thank you to all the brave men and women who have served and are serving our country! 🇺🇸 We are so grateful for your courage, service, and dedication. Happy Veterans Day! 🇺🇸❤️

Today, both of our buildings are getting the incredible opportunity to hear from Mike Donahue with Value Up — and the message hit home. ❤️ At Mary Lynch Elementary, students were challenged to think deeply about their words, actions, and worth. Mike’s message was powerful and emotional, leaving a lasting impact on everyone in the room. Some key takeaways: ✨ Words can do damage — but they can also heal. ✨ When you know your value, words don’t have to hurt. ✨ Don’t hide behind a smile — if you need help, get help. ✨ We all have rough days, but we must be accountable for them. ✨ You don’t have to compete for value — you already have it. ✨ You attract what you respect — if you don’t value yourself, others won’t either. Tonight at 6:00 PM, parents and community members are invited to hear this same message — with even more insight into how we can help our kids navigate the challenges of adolescence. This evening’s session promises to be the most powerful of the day — a chance for our community to come together, reflect, and truly “Value Up.” 💪💛

2nd grade loved singing to our veterans this Veterans Day!

Because of Firstier Bank's generous donation, every student at Mary Lynch Elementary was able to shop at the annual book fair. Thank you for supporting our students' literacy and helping build home libraries.
