As part of Earth Day celebrations, Miss Mathewson's 5th grade and Ms. Naugle cleaned up the front landscaping including plant pruning and garbage cleanup! 🌎🌺








Let's kick off our Spring Spirit Week with celebrating Earth Day on Tuesday! Students may be out of uniform on 4/22 by wearing items that are green/blue or promote science, nature, weather, animals, or conservation. **All items must be school-appropriate and should consider the weather conditions that would occur for outdoor recess/PE.


Thanks to Peoria YMCA, Alpha Park Library, South Side Mission, and U of I Extension for some GREAT activities and fun summer opportunities for our Panthers!





Our Panthers love learning together! Kindergarten and Second Grade Buddies continue to read and do other fun activities together each week!
