Dear Saber Elementary Family, Mrs. Burk is retiring after this year. She would be honored if all of the students and staff would wear "Saber blue" so she can get a picture with everyone that has shared this special time at Twin Cedars. We ask for this to happen on Thursday, May 22. Let's send Mrs. Burk off with all of the love and support she has shown us over the years! Saber Pride!

Thank You, Saber Nation! Thank you for showing up and showing out at our first annual "Swingin' into Summer" game last night! Your energy and support made the night unforgettable. Here's to new traditions, great memories, and a strong Saber community. 💙🥎⚾ A huge thank you to Papa Joe's Food Cabin for feeding us and for the generous donation made to our program. Together, we raised $410 to support our athletes — and we couldn’t have done it without you!

FYI

First Grade Art listened to the story "Mole Is Not Alone" and learned that Little Mole was to bashful to attend a friend's party but brave enough to at least attempt going...and makes a new friend along the way! A very sweet, fun story about friendship and a reminder to children that everyone can make new friends. After listening to the story students created their own moles holding a gift.

5th Grade Stonehenge Line Drawings: 5th Grade Art created their own version of the Stonehenge. Students started by drawing the stone blocks then added lines for a 3D effect. They finished with touches of texture lines and salt on watercolor for an amazing finish! The photo does not do justice!
