Our 5th graders were hard at work in the library today, teaming up to review their WIG (Wildly Important Goals) binders. We loved seeing students support one another, track their progress, and stay focused on the goals they’re excited to achieve. Proud of their leadership and teamwork! 💙📚💡#leaderinme #mustangsmakeithappen

Today, our youngest learners gathered for a special assembly to get ready for our upcoming LEAD Day. Members of our amazing Student Lighthouse Team led the way as they introduced students to our community partner, Victory Lakes Memory Care Center.

Our K–2 Mustangs learned how they’ll be spreading kindness, building connections, and practicing leadership habits that make a difference—both in our school and out in the community.

We’re so proud of our student leaders and can’t wait to see all of our Mustangs shine on LEAD Day! 💙🐴
