Athletic/Activity Update Week of March 25th
Spring has kicked off to an exciting start at our school, especially with the remarkable achievements of our 7th and 8th grade Math Relay teams who clinched 1st place in the league! Congratulations to these talented students for their dedication and hard work. As we celebrate these victories, let's also look forward to capturing memorable moments as our Math Relays, Tennis, and Track teams have their sports pictures scheduled for Wednesday. A friendly reminder to our Math Relay teams: please wear a black shirt or Jag gear for the photoshoot. Let's continue to support and cheer on our spring sports teams as they showcase their skills and sportsmanship throughout the season!

By eliminating the need for cash transactions, the school aims to streamline the ticketing process, ensuring a smooth and efficient experience for students, parents, and staff.
