Weekly Update, Families!
Hello Barracuda Families! Our students did an amazing job creating their Wind Racers for the Science Olympics! This week, the winner from each class will move on to compete in our grade-level competition. We’re excited to cheer them on and see which Wind Racer comes out on top!
October is here, and we have lots of exciting events coming up! First up is our Hispanic Heritage Celebration on Thursday, 10/15, from 5:00–7:00 PM. There will be food, booths, performances, and more for our families to enjoy. We would love to see you there, so come out and celebrate with us!
