Sapphire Elementary

REMINDER: All M-W schools and offices will be closed on Wednesday, June 19.

Busy days at Sapphire make for miles of smiles! With the warmer weather comes learning opportunities outside of the classroom: students held newly hatched chicks and planted gardens. In addition, Sapphire families donated 809 cans to the local food pantry during their annual "Soup"er Bowl food drive. Helping to define Sapphire's long legacy of learning, long-time teacher Ms. Peifer is pictured with her current UPK student, who just happens to be the son of her former student! #mwlegacy #mwfam💜😊
