2nd grade students at Northpoint are studying the lifecycle of butterflies. As of this morning, they had one caterpillar left, about a dozen have already formed a chrysalis, and one has already transformed into a butterfly! We’ll share an update when more spread their wings and are released into nature 🦋🦋🦋. Great job, Northpoint! #PHMExcellence

The much loved Culver's Bus Driver of the Month program is back and the first winner will be announced at the end of September! Do you have a favorite bus driver this year? If so, nominate them here -> phmexcellence.com/PHMBusDriverNomination

​​​​​Not a bus rider? That's okay ... from athletic events to field trips, almost every student utilizes a P-H-M bus at some point, if a driver has made a positive impression on you, be sure to nominate them!

Yesterday at Walt Disney, teachers engaged in professional learning around "The Comprehension Playbook", written by Kristina Smekens. The training provided practical, research-based strategies for teaching reading comprehension through mini-lessons and engaging classroom activities.

This is a great example of P-H-M educators investing in themselves to strengthen our culture of #PHMExcellence!
