The 2025-2026 school year has come to a close! The last weeks were a whirlwind! Kinder graduation, trips on boats and the edge, 5th grade graduation, S’Cool Sounds jazz assembly and on the last day a visit from Chancellor Kamar Samuels!

We will continue to post highlights of our amazing year throughout the summer!

We wish everyone a happy, healthy, and safe summer!

✨ It takes a village, but every village has someone who helps bring the magic to life. 🤍

So grateful for Ms. Nikki Hay, whose love and dedication have given our children years of unforgettable memories through productions like The Wizard of Oz and The Nutcracker. And to all the parents, teachers, and volunteers who show up year after year, thank you. Watching these kids fall in love with dance, theater, and the arts is truly something special. 🌈🎭✨💕

Bravo to everyone who helped bring Oz to life. Until December… 🩰❤️

SOUND ON FOR OUR AMAZING KIDDOS!

✨ From auditions to curtain call, so much love and hard work went into bringing The Wizard of Oz to life. Months of rehearsals, costumes, sets, songs, and countless helping hands made this weekend so special. Watching these kids shine in dance, theater, and music has been such a joy. So proud of every performer, and so grateful for the parents, teachers, and volunteers who helped make the magic happen.

There truly is no place like home. 💚🌈🎭✨ GO 56!!!!
