Our students had an incredible time at our NED Yo-Yo Assembly, where they were engaged, inspired, and full of excitement! NED, the lovable character whose name stands for Never give up, Encourage others, and Do your best, brought powerful messages of perseverance, kindness, and a growth mindset through an interactive and entertaining show. The energy in the room was contagious as students watched in awe, cheering and laughing while learning impressive yo-yo tricks woven into uplifting storytelling. Seeing their faces light up as they discovered the fun and skill behind yo-yos made the experience even more memorable! Beyond the tricks, the real magic was in the encouraging and positive lessons that will stay with them long after the assembly. #NEDShow #NeverGiveUp #EncourageOthers #DoYourBest #GrowthMindset #PositiveAttitude #SchoolAssembly #YoYoFun #LearningIsFun #MoonSchool

Our 3rd graders had an exciting visit to LWIS, getting a sneak peek into what’s ahead in 4th grade! 🎉 Mr. Smith walked them through expectations, behavior rewards, and instructional norms—making it fun with engaging visuals and even a Bobcat Roar practice! 🐾 Students loved meeting King Bob, spinning the Wheel of Names for awesome Bobcat swag, and touring the campus with 6th-grade leaders. From classrooms to the library, playground, and more, they got a real feel for their future school. The energy was incredible, and our soon-to-be 4th graders left feeling excited and ready for the next adventure! 💙💛 #BobcatPride #FutureFourthGraders
