Ms. Wallace’s students had a blast at their Nutrition Advisory Council (NAC) meeting with our Opaa! Food Management, Inc. Team at Southwest Elementary!

They pulled on their gloves, made their own pizza, and of course, enjoyed eating it too. 🍕 A fun mix of teamwork, learning, and delicious rewards!

Yesterday, our Southwest Elementary students joined our School Resource Officers for a K-pop Demon Hunters Words Matter presentation! 🗣️💬

They learned how to recognize threats, violence, and bullying in their school. It was a powerful reminder that words and actions both matter in building a safe, positive community. They also had a great time singing along!

Thank you Officer Wilson and Officer Whitten for helping our students understand that "We can't fix it, if we don't face it."
