Our first graders were thrilled to welcome AHS students, Officer Mueller, and his dog, Blue, into their classroom. Blue loved listening as students read aloud, making the visit a joyful reminder of how reading connects us, builds confidence, and brings our community together.



We are excited to share some snap shots of staff and students proudly showing their Panther Pride and team spirit during Pine Avenue December Days. These festive activities highlight the creativity and enthusiasm of our school community. The themes are developed by our student council as part of their important role in school leadership.



Seasons Greetings!
Luce Road Daycare's Toddler Preschool School Experience had a full day of holiday spirit, academic learning, and craft rotations. Students moved through each station practicing following directions, taking turns, using kind words, and showing their ROARS. Students had the opportunity to enjoy music and movement, painting, and hands-on activities that strengthened fine motor and gross motor skills. To top it off, our Cubs made special treats for Santa and his reindeer, and they were so proud to share their creations!
