There is a fun reading incentive for the students to read for at least 20 minutes for 45 days this summer.

This week, our school community came together to choose kindness, connection, and hope during Hope Week! We kicked off Hope Week with an inspiring opening assembly with Stand4Kind and a powerful guest speaker, Gideon DiMelglio, who reminded us that limitations do not define us. This was followed by our students leaving their handprints as a pledge to "Be the I in K_ND". Every moment taught us the power of kindness and inclusion.

Our Hope Squad also participated in Stand4Kind leadership training and spread kindness across campus through Kindness Grams to help raise funds for next year’s Hope Week!

Thank you to every student, parent, and staff member who helped make this week so special and meaningful. Together, we are building a kinder school, one act at a time.

Happy Administrative Professionals Day to the incredible women who keep our school running smoothly every single day! Their kindness, organization, and dedication create a welcoming space for our students, staff, and families. You are the heart of our front office, and our entire school community is better because of you. Thank you for all that you do—we appreciate you more than words can say!
