Last Thursday was so much fun at Sonia Sotomayor Elementary with 'Dress as a Famous Person' Day! Students got to share with teachers or staff members who they dressed up as and explain why they chose that famous person. Love being part of a school that celebrates culture, language, and a bit of costume fun!#SoniaSotomayorElementary #DressUpDay #lobos

This year, the celebration will be held on Friday, November 8th, at 9:00 AM at Sonia Sotomayor Elementary. Veterans and their families are warmly invited to attend and be honored for their service. Due to space limitations, we can only accommodate veterans and their families at the event. However, we hope to record the assembly and share it with everyone afterward.

Honoring Our Flag: A Visit from the American Legion
Today, we had the privilege of welcoming representatives from the American Legion to our school! They gave a special presentation on the history and significance of the American flag, teaching 4th-grade students the proper way to handle, fold, and care for it. This was a wonderful opportunity for everyone to learn more about the values of respect, patriotism, and responsibility and to prepare our 4th-grade students for raising the school flag each morning!
Thank you to the American Legion for providing this hands-on lesson and helping our students better appreciate our nation’s symbol.

Our second graders had an amazing time on their field trip! They spent the day exploring the great outdoors, learning about nature, and having so much fun with their friends. It was a fantastic opportunity for hands-on learning and fresh air! We’re so proud of how engaged and excited they were to discover the world around them. Can’t wait for the next adventure!

Yesterday, our first graders had an amazing time at the pumpkin patch! From zooming down the zip line and bouncing in the inflatable house to picking out their very own pumpkins, the day was full of excitement. The petting zoo was a big hit, and the giant slides had everyone smiling. It was a day of fun and enrichment, where students got to experience hands-on learning and explore the outdoors. A big thank you to everyone who helped make this field trip possible!

Last week, we had the honor of welcoming Lincoln Patriots football team members and former Sonia Sotomayor students for special visits to the lunchroom, classrooms, and gym! The LHS seniors talked with the kids about working hard, setting, goals, and enjoying every day! Former Sonia Sotomayor students shared the importance of staying with the Spanish Immersion program through high school and the opportunities being bilingual and illiterate will provide them! They had a joyful morning reconnecting with their elementary teachers, filling the halls with laughter and even some fútbol americana. Homecoming Royalty joined in, spreading excitement throughout the day. Fun fact...the last three LHS Homecoming Kings have been Spanish Immersion students! Several others have been part of the Homecoming Court! We are raising some amazing leaders!! (2024 Lucas Hiatt, 2023 Bo Bosler, 2022 Fisher Meyerink).
What made the day even more meaningful was these high school students coming together as #OnePack/#UnaManada to support our Brady by wearing Brady's Pack bracelets. He’s going through a challenging time, and their supportive gesture shows that once a Lobo, always a Lobo!! What a mighty Pack!
