Mrs. Goetzke, kind and sweet,
Greeting smiles in every hall we meet.
With high-fives, house points, and stories to share,
She shows every student how much she cares.

From busy mornings to lunch time fun,
She cheers us on till the day is done.
With laughter, learning, and hearts so true,
Sippel shines brighter because of you!

Thank you for all you do for our campus Mrs. Goetzke!

Our school is a better place because of Mrs. Morales, who fills our library with brightness, kindness, and curiosity each and every day. From helping students find the perfect book, to creating a space where everyone feels welcome, she truly inspires a love of reading and learning in all of us.

Mrs. Morales, thank you for your endless patience, your willingness to always lend a helping hand, and the magic you bring to our library. You don’t just check out books—you open doors to imagination, adventure, and possibility.

We are so lucky to have you! Happy National School Librarians Day!

We found some Stallions on the ball field tonight. Brielle Perez was a home run hitter, Blair Wilson was the game winning catcher, and the best dugout mom around, Mrs. Hernandez! Congrats on the win tonight, and good luck this season!

Our first graders enjoyed stepping into a brand new “classroom” this week — the Scobee Planetarium! Students discovered fascinating facts about the moon while watching two engaging movies in the coolest classroom ever — under the stars! 🌌 The learning and discoveries they made today will be perfect for their Spring G/T STEM Research Project. What an out of this world experience!

Throughout the month, our 4th grade students researched influential individuals in celebration of Black History Month, learning about their lives, accomplishments, and lasting impact on history and society. They worked hard to create thoughtful and informative presentations that highlighted the achievements and challenges of the figures they studied. Yesterday, they wrapped up their learning with a classroom gallery walk, where students proudly showcased their projects and had the opportunity to view and learn from one another’s work. It was a wonderful way to celebrate their effort, creativity, and deeper understanding of these important historical contributions.
