🐣 Exciting News: Our Newest Friends Have Arrived!

Posted Date: 05/11/26 (08:05 PM)





We are "egg-static" to share some very special footage with you this week!

For the past few weeks, our students have been on a building-wide "chick watch." With incubators buzzing in both the Library and Miss DePaolis’s PreK Classroom, the anticipation has been building—and the wait is finally over. Our chicks have officially hatched!

✨ A Window into Wonder

From our Pre-K learners to our oldest students, everyone has had a front-row seat to the magic of the life cycle. We’ve watched everything from the first tiny cracks in the shells to those first fluffy chirps.

In Room 34 and the Library, these tiny guests have turned ordinary school days into an extraordinary hands-on science lesson. Our Pre-K crew, in particular, has been the ultimate "chick scouts," learning how to be gentle, quiet observers as they welcomed their new feathered friends.

šŸ™ A Huge Thank You to our PTO

This incredible experience was made possible by the amazing generosity of our PTO. Thank you for providing the incubators and supplies that allowed our children to witness the miracle of life right in their own hallways!

Check out the two videos above to see the hatching highlights from the Library and Room 34 and the sweet reactions from our studentsšŸ„šŸ’›
