Something really cool is happening in Mrs. LaPointe's 4th grade class at Carl J. Lamb Elementary! Students have been learning to code using Micro: Bits, small computers that bring their code to life with lights, sounds, buttons, and sensors.

Through this hands-on experience, kids are building problem-solving, creativity, and critical thinking skills while learning how technology actually works. The goal is simple but powerful: we want our students to be creators of technology, not just users of it.

Happy St. Patrick's Day from CJL!
Last Friday, students at Carl J. Lamb Elementary enjoyed a special Mystery Reader event! Teachers, staff, admin, and parents volunteered their time to visit classrooms and read aloud to students for 20-minute sessions. Books were provided for any readers who needed them.

It was a wonderful way to bring the school community together around a love of reading. A big thank you to everyone who participated and made it such a memorable day for our kids!
