Please allow me to introduce our outstanding second grade team: Mrs. Grimm, Ms. Buckshaw, Mrs. Shepard, Mrs. Jarrett, Ms. Ragans, Mrs. Kennedy, and Mrs. Widlicka. Together, they work each day to provide our second graders with a high-quality education that is both engaging and meaningful. Through hands-on learning experiences—such as hatching chicks and guiding students through the entire process—this team brings learning to life in memorable and exciting ways.
The Class of 2028 would like to thank Myers Family Insurance for generously sponsoring our Breakfast with Santa 🧑🎄🎄. We are also grateful to all of the students and families who attended.

“A Christmas Fruitcake and other Weighty Matters” is a dinner theater featuring Lords and Ladies, a battle of the presents, unsuspecting audience participants, and a whole lot of fruitcake!!!
This is in place of our spring musical. Due to renovations in the auditorium, the cafeteria is the space available for our use. Given this space, we decided to take a new direction with the spring theater production.
Unlike the shows of the past, we outright own the rights to this script, and are able to add characters/make changes/add funny things as we see fit. We are looking for servers for our banquet as well as any acts that would be seen at a Medieval banquet! This includes jugglers, acrobatics, music, and dance.
We still need 8 students to fill the cast, including one boy willing to play the “Black Sheep” prince of the family!!
Students in grades 6-12 are welcome to sign up. See Ms. Pigza in the choir room or email her at sarah.pigza@eaglepride.net to get the information.
