KDM - Congratulations KDM Students of the month to Nick M. (First Grade - Mrs. Hempel) and Liam A. (3rd Grade - Mrs. Briggs/Mrs. McOmish). Nick has been working hard, showing kindness, and setting a great example for others. Whether in class or around school, Nick always gives it his best. Liam models the appropriate behavior and tries to encourage others, as well, on a daily basis. His behavior and effort shine in everything he does.


CAD - Mrs. Samad, Alayna, Zade and Mrs. Rimawi shared the beauty of Ramadan with the 4th grade students! They talked about the importance of kindness, compassion, and reflection during this special time. Alayna and Zade even read us beautiful books and shared their thoughts on kindness. We were so inspired by their kindness board, where they focused on being the ‘light’ in someone else's day! It’s amazing to see them embracing these values and spreading positivity. #Ramadan #Kindness #LightInTheWorld #4thGradeLove #ActsOfKindness #Dwyer #NoWallsNoLimits
