Spring Book Fair: May 15 - 19, 2023
Read every day. Lead a better life.
Our annual Spring Scholastic Book Fair is scheduled for the week of May 15 - 19! With the end of the school year almost here, investing in books for your child is one of the best ways to prevent the "summer slide". Also, the Book Fair is a great fundraiser for our school, so we're raising reading and raising funds!

8th Grade MYP Community Project Presentations: June 1, 2023
As an IB World School, all 8th grade scholars MUST complete the MYP Community Project. The International Baccalaureate Organization explains it best:
MYP projects encourage students to reflect on their learning and the outcomes of their work – key skills that prepare them for success in further study, the workplace and the community.
Students who complete the MYP in Year 3 complete the community project.
The community project provides an important opportunity for students ages 13-14 to collaborate and pursue service learning.
Please plan on joining us in the Thompson Gym from 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm as our scholars share how they raised awareness, actively participated or displayed creativity and innovation on a topic.
