A special visit for our East Elementary 1st and 2nd graders!

Students visited West Elementary to help support a smooth transition for the 2026-27 school year. During their visit, students explored their new building, met teachers and staff, and got to check out the new playground — definitely a highlight of the day!

We’re excited to welcome these students to West Elementary next year and look forward to all the learning, friendships, and memories ahead. #mphawks
