Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, grandmothers, and the many women who care so deeply for our students. You are seen and appreciated.
Our End-of-Year BBQ was a joy—full of laughter, sunshine, and happy kids. Thank you to everyone who helped make it such a fun and memorable day.
Next week, our 7th and 8th grade students will take part in Mock Trial, the culminating academic event of the spring semester for junior high. We’re looking forward to seeing their hard work come to life.
A sincere thank you to our parent community for the beautiful Staff Appreciation Luncheon and for the many thoughtful ways you celebrated our team. The door decorations, flowers, gifts, and kind notes truly lifted spirits across campus. Your generosity and care do not go unnoticed.
Sincerely,
Sandi Knapp
Principal
