Cultural Fair hosted by our amazing Pre-K classes! 🇫🇷🇬🇭🇵🇱 🇨🇼

We traveled the world by visiting France 🇫🇷, Barbados 🇧🇧, Poland 🇵🇱, Ghana 🇬🇭, and Curaçao 🇨🇼 🌍✨

The Pre-K team did an incredible job—everything was well organized, engaging, and so much fun! Students had the opportunity to try different foods and drinks 🍽️🥤 and even received souvenirs to take home 🎁. What a wonderful celebration of culture and learning!

On February 9, we celebrated our 101st day of school! This milestone reflects consistent effort, perseverance, and growth. We are so proud of the work our students & staff continue to do.

Good afternoon Families,

Beginning December 2nd, our school will launch a 12-Day Literacy and Kindness Countdown. Each classroom will open a daily advent gift box and complete a literacy-based or kindness challenge at the end of the day.

After completing the first challenge, each class will receive a Reading Tree. They will earn a new piece of the tree each time they complete a daily challenge. The goal is to build the full tree by the end of the 12 days.

You will see daily photos of students holding their completed work posted on ClassDojo. We encourage you to support your child’s class by liking or commenting on their posts. Your participation encourages students and builds excitement throughout the school.

The class with the most completed challenges and strongest display of work and tree progress will receive a prize.

Thank you for partnering with us as we celebrate literacy & kindness

-Dr. Harris
