At Moonlight Elementary, students put their winter break relaxation behind them and worked hard to review behavior expectations all around the school. Their dedication paid off in a big way! As a fun reward for reaching their goal, Mrs. Beach transformed into a Cranky Old Granny, delighting everyone with surprise visits to classrooms throughout the day! 🎉👵
#WeAreUSD231 transformed the classroom into a lively grocery store! With a friendly greeter, a speedy cashier, an efficient bagger, and enthusiastic customers, everyone had a blast with pretend play. It's amazing to see students learning and growing through these fun, hands-on experiences!
This past weekend nine #WeAreUSD231 band students earned the right to participate in the Kansas John Philip Sousa All-State Honor Band!

#WeAreUSD231 Senior Kaila Burnside was selected as a QuestBridge finalist from a competitive pool of over 25,000 applicants after an arduous application process earlier this semester. QuestBridge finalists have the opportunity to rank partner schools with the hope of matching with a college or university of their choice. Typically, only 10-20% of students achieve a match each year.
Kaila recently received the exciting news that she matched with Northwestern University, where she will attend on a full four-year scholarship! This significant achievement reflects Kaila's dedication and academic integrity!
Congratulations Kaila!
