Our theme for our school year is "Learning to Fly" and the 25- 26 school year has flown by! What better way to celebrate the year than to fly around the world with us?! We have so many diverse cultures within our building and we are asking for your help representing them. If you would like to have a display table during our April 30th Multicultural event, please call the front office and let us know. We are asking for 2-3 culturally appropriate items (do not bring any glass or extremely valuable items) to put on a display table for our Global Gallery.
If you are bringing items for display, please arrive at the ELC at 4:30 to set up your table. Please write the name of your country on a piece of paper or let a staff member know. Thank you for your support!

🏝️ Panther Passport: Adventures of Petey.....Spring Break in Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷
Our favorite globetrotter has officially returned! Petey the Panther is back from an incredible Spring Break trip to Puerto Rico with one of our teachers, Ms. Cardozo. Petey had a busy week soaking up the "Island of Enchantment" and representing our Little Panthers across the Caribbean!
Petey is happy to be back at school, and has brought home a suitcase full of stories! He’s officially added another stamp to his Panther Passport alongside Egypt and Mexico. ✈️
