We’re excited to celebrate our Best in House students! 🦚🐍🦁🐺
For each grade level, teachers selected one standout student from each house who truly embodied the core character traits that define their house. These students lead by example, showing kindness, courage, integrity, and pride in all they do.
💫 Whether it was helping others, showing determination, or consistently making positive choices, these students made their houses proud!
👏 Let’s give a big round of applause to these role models — keep shining!




We are thrilled to introduce and celebrate our newly selected 5th Grade House Leaders! 🌟 These students have shown exceptional leadership, responsibility, and school spirit—and we couldn’t be more excited to have them guiding their houses this year!
