Yesterday, we received the disappointing news that we didn't advance to the Top 25 in the Friday Night 5G Lights contest, but what a ride it was! 🎉 Thank you to every single person who created content, shared, and cheered us on. Your support was incredible!
Now, let's turn our energy to supporting our friends! We're putting our collective spirit and votes behind the Princeville Princes! 🏈 They are the only school in Illinois to advance and a fellow LTC school. Let's help them bring home the win!
Go Princes! 👑 Keep voting and sharing for them! #FN5GL #LTCPride #PrincevillePrinces

The clock is ticking, Spartans! ⏰ We're in the final week of Round 1 for the @TMobile #FN5GL #Sweepstakes, and we need your help to get into the Top 25!
After this Friday, the T-Mobile team is going to be looking for the schools with the most incredible spirit on Instagram and X. Let's flood their feeds with our Spartan pride! Take photos, make videos, and show them why our school is the best.
Make sure you tag:

Remember, your profile doesn't need to be public, but the posts need to be so that the T-Mobile team sees them!

Our instructional staff dug into "The Power Four: The Essentials Behind Good Teaching" this afternoon, reflecting on our wins and challenges. Just like our students, we're all in this year to #JustLearnIt!









We kicked off our Krenari Community with our house sorting ceremony. Our kindergartens and new staff were sorted into their houses. We can't wait to build new friendships and work together in our houses each month!









Congratulations to Mrs. Vincent's kindergarten class! Every single student scored 100% on today’s spelling test! We are so proud of you! #JustLearnIt
