Color War 2026
In celebration of America’s 250th birthday, our elementary students showed their spirit as they competed on the Red, White, and Blue teams during our annual Color War! This school-wide reading celebration and friendly competition had students excited from start to finish.
Classes completed challenges to earn points for their color teams. Students participated in activities like reading with a buddy, decoding emoji messages, finding hidden stickers around the school, and even completing challenges in their Essentials classes to help their teams climb the leaderboard.
Congratulations to the ❤️ Red Team ❤️ for coming out on top and earning the Color War Trophy! 🏆
A huge thank you to Mrs. Wilcox, our district librarian, for organizing the entire event and creating such a fun experience for our students. The creativity, planning, and excitement she brought to Color War made it a week our students will be talking about for a long time! 🎉📚

Our Advanced Science students put their creativity and engineering skills to the test in our Cardboard Boat Regatta! 🚣♂️
Using only cardboard and duct tape, teams designed and built their own boats—then launched them in the pond to see if they could make it around the course. Some cruised, some splashed, but all showed incredible teamwork and perseverance.
Watch the action here: https://youtu.be/8m8f8Bfbrvc
