Washington D.C. Class Trip
Our 6th grade students have had a wonderful week in Washington D.C.! They have explored the District fully and are completing their amazing week at the National Zoo today! They have visited several of the Smithsonian Museums, seen all of the monuments, toured the FBI, Ford's Theater, the Capitol (and able to see both Senate and House in session), Library of Congress, Supreme Court, White House, and now at the zoo! They have had a busy week full of wonderful experiences, learning, and great memories! Thank you for supporting their ice cream fundraiser to support their wonderful culminating trip!
Summer Specialty Camps
We have so many specialty summer programs available this summer; do not miss the opportunity to enroll your child is some of these programs! We have swim lessons, soccer camp, cooking, science, Lego, and much more! The specialty camp registrations and payments need to be submitted by May 31st; prices will increase after that time.

For those students that will be entering Pre-Kindergarten and higher this fall, we are sending home several forms including pre-packaged school supplies and uniform order forms today. These are due by May 31st. If you are not choosing to order the pre-packaged supplies, the school supply lists will be sent out early summer.
