A: “Open House! I love interacting with all our families and talking with them about the exciting learning that will take place throughout the year.”

Q: What’s your favorite flavor of ice cream?
A: “Butter pecan. The perfect treat on a summer day.” 🍦

Thank you to the Village of Flossmoor Fire Department for visiting and spending time with our students today. We appreciate the time you took to teach our children about fire safety and prevention. Students learned valuable lessons about how to stay safe, including what to do in an emergency and how to help prevent fires before they start. The students especially loved getting an up-close look at the fire truck and gear. We are grateful for your continued partnership and dedication to keeping our community safe.
We celebrated National Custodians Day! Thank you to Mr. Bragg, our head custodian and our evening custodians, Mr. Bentley and Mrs. Perez. Your hard work makes our school environment clean, safe, and welcoming! We appreciate everything you do to help our students learn!
