First All-School Assembly = SUCCESS!

This week we kicked off our Reading Challenge, introduced our focus statement “Be Your Best” and celebrated students who are already modeling our Five Be Statements:

✨ Be Kind
✨ Be Responsible
✨ Be Respectful
✨ Be a Learner
✨ Be Your Best

We are proud of our students for leading with character, heart, and excellence. 💙 💛

From staff to students a like we loved seeing all the fun costumes from this year’s book character day!

Our 6th graders have officially started their Talibé Service Ministry. Every Wednesday morning, you’ll see our students serving breakfast to Talibé children in the streets. This ministry is designed to help our students develop ownership, responsibility, and hearts of service as they care for others in our community.

📚✨ Book Character Day is coming!✨📚

On Friday, November 7th, students are invited to come to school dressed as their favorite book character! Whether it’s a brave hero, a funny sidekick, or a magical creature, we can’t wait to see everyone’s creativity shine.

Need ideas? How about Harry Potter, Matilda, The Cat in the Hat, Dog Man, or Fancy Nancy? The possibilities are endless!

Let’s celebrate our love of reading together! 💫📖

We're still dreaming about how amazing the school fair was! 🎪✨ Huge shoutout to our vendors, parents, and staff who made the night unforgettable. Already counting down the days 'til next year!
