Howdy, Tiger Families! 

We had an AMAZING Leadership Day today! We could not be prouder of our student leaders. They demonstrated confidence, bravery, responsibility, and heart as they showcased the many ways they lead within AND outside of our school community. It was inspiring to see them share about how they are serving our community and leading with LOVE. Moments like these remind us how capable and thoughtful our Tigers truly are. Thank you for supporting their leadership journey!

🐯 This week’s tip: Spring Into Learning! 

Spring is the perfect time to take learning outdoors. As the weather warms up, encourage your child to observe the changes happening around them, new blooms, budding trees, insects, and shifting weather patterns. Go on a short nature walk and ask questions like, “What do you notice?” “What has changed since winter?” or “Why do you think that is happening?”

You can turn everyday moments into learning opportunities by tracking the weather, measuring how tall a plant grows, counting birds you see, or keeping a simple nature journal with drawings and observations. These hands-on experiences build curiosity, strengthen observation skills, and support science learning in a meaningful way. Most importantly, they remind children that learning doesn’t only happen inside a classroom.
