Making Spirits Bright

During this holiday season, as we prepare for the new year, it is a good time to reflect on the semester. It is a blessing to work alongside the most dedicated teachers and staff. From jumping in to participate in PE to grading exams and coming out to support the students in their events, our teachers are committed to building meaningful relationships with your kids that foster a sense of community and kindness. I am thankful for their on-going support of our students, and I am thankful for our parents' partnership in this good work.


We hope you and your families have a blessed holiday season. See you in the New Year!

Enjoy the holidays! Students return on January 4, 2023.
