🥁 Bash the Trash Visits PEARLS! ♻️
Today our students had an amazing time during a special assembly with Bash the Trash, where music, creativity, and environmental awareness came together in a fun and engaging performance. Students saw how everyday and recycled materials can be transformed into musical instruments and learned about the importance of reducing, reusing, and recycling.
Thank you to the Bash the Trash team for an interactive and inspiring presentation that had our students clapping, laughing, and thinking about sustainability in a whole new way!
Thank you to our PTA for supporting such an amazing assembly.

Our students in Ms. Ragusa’s first grade class have been learning how to control and code our Smart Start Dash robots! 🤖✨
To top it off, they became the teachers, visiting Mrs. Maldonado’s class to demonstrate how to program and operate the Dash bots.
We love seeing our young learners build confidence while sharing their knowledge with others! 💡👏

🐧❄️ First Grade Arctic Animal Research on Display! ❄️🐻❄️
Take a walk down our hallways and you’ll see some incredible learning in action! Our first graders recently completed an Arctic Animal Research project, where they read, researched, and wrote about animals that live in cold climates.
Students created amazing dioramas showcasing habitats for polar bears, penguins, Arctic foxes, whales, and more — complete with snow, ice, and detailed animal features!
Alongside their projects, students shared written research explaining where their animal lives, what it eats, and how it survives in the Arctic.
We are so proud of their hard work, creativity, and growing research skills!! 🧊✨
