Our Valentine’s parties at Reno Elementary were such a SWEET success! 💕🍭

Our students and families are truly the sweetest — we are so “lucky in love” to have such an amazing community! 💌✨ From adorable cards to yummy treats and lots of heart-filled laughter, the day was bursting with joy. ❤️🎉

There was so much kindness “floating” around, it was un-BEE-lievable! 🐝💗 Our classrooms were full of smiles, friendship, and love — and we just ate it up! 🍪🍓

Thank you to our families who helped make the day extra special. We love our Reno community more than words can say! 💘🏫

XOXO,

What a celebration our 100th day of school was! 🎉💯 We had 100-year-olds walking around campus (maybe they got a little turned around on the way to their nursing homes 😉👵👴) and students rocking outfits with 100 items—wow! 🧦🎈🎀 Add in all the fun, festive 100-day shirts 👕✨ and it truly made the day extra special. It’s been an amazing 100 days of learning, growing, and fun—and we’ve loved every single bit of it! ❤️📚🎉 Great things are happening at Reno Elementary! #WeareReno #PorcupineFamily

Late post alert!!!! 🚨📸
Between snow days ❄️ and the craziness of jumping back into routine, we didn’t get a chance to post—but this was WAY too good not to share!

Snowy Texas weather + sweet learning = the best combo ❄️🍦🧡

Our 2nd graders have been busy cooking up learning across subjects! 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳
➕ In math, students used hands-on bakery activities to model multiplication and division with equal groups and arrays—proving their learning was truly on a roll 🍞📊
📖 In reading, they enjoyed a story about a baker and learned the value of hard work—because good things take time (and effort!) to bake 🍩💪

To top it all off, students enjoyed ice cream sundaes donated by Ice Slingers 🍨🎉—the perfect way to chill and celebrate all their hard work… even with snow on the ground in Texas! ❄️🤠🍦

🧡📚🍨 Great things are happening at Reno Elementary!!! #WeareReno #PorcupineFamily

Reminder: Tomorrow is the 100th Day of School! 💯🎉
We can’t wait to celebrate with our students!!! 🥳🎈🧡

Progress reports went home today in orange folders with all 2nd–4th grade students. Please review, sign, and return the progress report to school. Thank you!
