We have had an amazing second week of school! Two of our 5th grade classes started going to StarBase for their STEAM field trips. All of our 5th graders will get the opportunity to visit StarBase throughout this year. Our 1st graders were practicing their place value and representing numbers with place value blocks.
Even though it is a short week next week, there are still tons of things going on at Desert Willow!

We had an incredible first week of the 2026-2027 school year! Across campus students and teachers learned and reviewed procedures, expectations, and even some math!
There was so much learning and laughing across campus this week, we can't wait to see what the rest of the school year will bring!
