Day 1 of Teacher Appreciation Week kicked off in true Hollywood fashion! We felt like absolute stars thanks to the incredible support from our community.
A huge standing ovation goes out to:

• Simply Chic: For the exclusive private shopping experience that had us feeling red-carpet ready.
• Wonder Stick: For the "sweet" special effects—those treats were the perfect finale!

Sebastian's teacher thinks he is all that and a bag of chips because he was picking up trash and toys on the playground.
Thank you, Sebastian, for being a kind and caring Cowboy!

Mrs. Bridges thinks Chase is all that and a bag of chips because he's such a helpful volunteer! During the book fair, he went above and beyond by wiping down checked-in library books and even sorting them to make things easier for Mrs. Alexander and me. His thoughtfulness and kind heart are very much appreciated.

Our 3rd-grade cowboys wrangled their nerves last week and are officially kicking off LEAP week in full stride!
