💙 School Counselor Appreciation 💙
Today we want to give a huge shout-out to our amazing school counselor, Alanea Edwards!
Ms. Alanea takes such great care of our students’ social-emotional well-being, making sure every child feels supported, heard, and valued. She helps ensure students’ needs are met, and works closely with staff and families to support the whole child.
Behind the scenes, she also analyzes data and supports instructional decisions to help ensure our students are receiving a high-quality education and the supports they need to succeed—both academically and emotionally.
We are so thankful for Ms. Alanea's dedication, compassion, and heart for our school community. Thank you for all you do—during School Counseling Week and every week! 💙
Our first graders wrapped up their measurement and data unit last week with a Pokémon measurement and graphing day! Learning never looked so fun—Gotta catch ’em all!
You are invited to join us for an opportunity to share input in support of student success!
Winter Break is here! ❄️
We’ll be out for Winter Break next week! Wishing our families and staff a week filled with rest, laughter, and special moments. Enjoy every minute! Have a safe and joy-filled break—we’ll see you soon! 💙

Dear Wildcat community,
Excelsior Junior High Beta Club needs your help! We are just a few short days away from convention, and we have lost valuable prep time due to the snow. On top of that, packages we ordered are severely delayed. We still need a few items for our students to have a successful convention.
So, if you have any of these items in your closets or storage that we could borrow for about three weeks, it would really help! They are super random, so bear with me:
Men’s Large blue and white striped T-shirt (large stripes)
5 Santa or elf hats
Tinkerbell shoes
A wagon
A large battery you can plug things into
Fake plants (big ones and lots)
Bubble wrap
Solid blue blankets
Assorted Seashells (for donation please)
Thank you so much for helping our students!
