Examples of Living Our Mission
- The fourth grade speeches are a highlight of our Halloween celebrations. Congratulations to Brooke and Hannah for leading out their first time of this tradition.
- The 5th graders were very prepared and respectful during their session with Representative Spain. They asked insightful questions and were a genuine audience.
- If you have not had an opportunity to watch Karen AJ teach, you need to. Her lessons are full of passion, energy, and excitement for music! It is contagious!
