A huge thank-you to Mrs. Hahn, Mrs. Soenksen, and their students for their incredible efforts in creating such a meaningful celebration.
To all veterans — thank you for your courage, dedication, and service. Today and every day, we honor you. ❤️💙

The celebration featured two guest speakers: Bryan Robinson shared the importance of archery during the Middle Ages and connected it to the archery club’s practices, while Keith Townsley demonstrated the history and mechanics of catapults used in medieval warfare.
It was a wonderful day of learning and fun! Both students and teachers enjoyed bringing history to life through such engaging, hands-on activities. For more pictures visit our Facebook page!

Through colorful altars (ofrendas), art, music, food, and interactive stations, our Spanish 1–4 students showed that Día de los Muertos is a joyful celebration of life, a special time to honor and remember loved ones together.
Students took the lead, showcasing initiative and communication skills as they taught their peers, applying critical thinking to explore the deeper meaning behind Día de los Muertos traditions through engaging, hands-on activities and growing in global awareness as they shared how this holiday is celebrated in Mexican culture around the world.
It was a vibrant reminder that learning a language means more than words—it means understanding and appreciating diverse cultures, stories, and the connections that unite us all.
A special highlight, as you can see in the pictures, was when 3rd-grade students visited, participating in activities that brought the holiday to life.
Muchas gracias to Sra. Schaller and Sra. Jory for providing this creative and fun learning opportunity for Sabers of all ages! 💜💛

During the assembly, Coach Sloth gave students a behind-the-scenes look at his writing process and inspired them to dream big and create their own books. The fun continued with an interactive reading of his book, Hank the Bully, where students helped bring it to life. Through Hank’s story, students learned an important lesson: being a bully is NOT COOL!
A huge thank you to Coach Sloth for sparking creativity and encouraging our young writers to turn their own life experiences into stories. 💜✏️
