Throughout this month, Navigator Elementary celebrated reading as a community of readers in One District, One Book. K- 5 families have been reading the book, Legends of Lotus Island. Our students have participated in variety of events and activities that align with the story including daily raffle book questions and listening to guest readers. Today, the PCHS Leadership Class came to Navigator to lead a variety of crafts and interactive activities. Our culminating activity will be at the end of this week, which is a school wide vocabulary parade.

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.

🌟 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! 👏🎉
