We are excited to share a special video with you from one of our recent Matey Meetings featuring our Navigator students and their work with The Positivity Project (P2). During this meeting, students focused on the character strength of optimism and created a video highlighting what optimism means to them and how it shows up in their daily lives. This wonderful video was thoughtfully put together by our very own Ms. Brooke Hall. We are so grateful for the time, creativity, and care she dedicated to capturing our students’ voices and bringing their message to life.
We are incredibly proud of our students for their leadership and thoughtful reflections in this video. Thank you for partnering with us as we continue building strong character and a positive school community.
We hope you enjoy watching!

The Navigator 5th Grade Leadership team sold apple pies as a fundraiser toward the cost of 5th grade camp. Today many members of the team (and parents) came together to make the pies. For those that pre-ordered a pie, they are ready (earlier then expected) for pick up. We will have a few available to sell for $25. Thank you to those that supported this service project.

Today was a day full of energy, excitement, and smiles as Navigator Elementary held our annual Field Day! The day kicked off on a patriotic note with the National Anthem beautifully sung by three of our talented 5th graders during morning announcements. 🇺🇸🎤
Students rotated through a variety of fun field events, played kickball, and even enjoyed some time swimming in the pool! 🏃♀️🏅⚾💦
For lunch, everyone gathered for a delicious BBQ picnic followed by a cool Kona Ice treat—perfect for a sunny day! 🍔🍧

🌟 Shoutout to Navigator Elementary's Fifth Grade Leadership Team! 🌟
We’re so proud of this incredible group of students who have gone above and beyond to support our school community. From collecting lunch counts and breakfast bag deliveries to helping with paper recycling, the talent show, and Fall Fest — their dedication shines in everything they do!
This year, their service project focused on something truly special: supporting the PCS Therapy Dog Program. Through hard work and teamwork, they organized and ran a holiday store during Christmas time and raised $500 for this amazing cause. 🐾❤️
Way to go, Fifth Grade Leaders — your kindness, responsibility, and leadership are making a big difference! 👏🎉
