Our popcorn fundraiser has started!

After reading The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle, our students were inspired to bring the story to life! In the Curiosity Corner, they explored their creativity by building their own flowers—each one as unique and colorful as the imagination behind it. These hands-on creations helped them prepare for writing, giving them a concrete connection to the story and a fun way to express their learning. We love watching their ideas bloom! ...and yes, Mr. Jackson got in the action too! #SpringdaleFamily

THIS SATURDAY- Be an extra in a feature film- spread the word! #SpringdaleFamily

We love to howl with pride over our wolves! These students are examples of our PACK promise- thank you!
