Our Hooper Elementary students had an incredible visit from Animal Quest today. From scaly reptiles to furry friends, our 3rd graders got an up-close look at some amazing creatures and learned all about their habitats and unique traits.

A huge thank you to Animal Quest and Hooper's 3rd Grade team for bringing the zoo to us! Check out these brave explorers!

Martin School students proudly shared their gratitude through artwork, decorations, and handwritten letters that beautifully adorned Foss Park Golf Course as Veterans embarked on their May 1st–3rd journey with Lake County Honor Flight #30 to Washington, D.C.

From colorful drawings to touching messages, our students helped create a truly meaningful and memorable send-off. Surrounded by family, friends, and community members, it was a powerful moment of appreciation for those who have served our country.

Thank you, Martin Mustangs, for showing such kindness and respect—and thank you to our Veterans for your service!

🌟 A Night of Spark & Shape! 🌟
Tonight was truly electric at Hooper Elementary! Our amazing 3rd and 4th graders opened their classroom doors to show off a year's worth of hard work, curiosity, and incredible growth.

Here’s a look at what our young scholars shared:

The Power of Science: ⚡ Students demonstrated their mastery of electricity, using positive and negative charges to light up bulbs and show us exactly how energy flows!

Geometry in Action: 📐 From polygons to symmetry, our students got creative with shapes, proving that math is beautiful and everywhere around us.

Academic Growth: 📈 More than just projects, tonight was about celebrating how far every student has come since the first day of school.

We are so proud of our Hooper Heroes! A huge thank you to the families and teachers who make this growth possible every single day.

LEARN: Palombi's 7th and 8th-grade choir students had an incredible experience collaborating with the talented Lakes Community High School choir. They had the opportunity to sing some of their spring concert music together, giving our students a glimpse into what choir can look like at the next level!

After singing, students spent time connecting, playing games, and building community with the high school choir members. It was the perfect mix of music and fun!

We are so proud of how our students represented Palombi with their energy, enthusiasm, and positive attitudes. Thank you to Lakes for hosting such a wonderful event! #elevateLV41 #collaboration
