What an end to the year with our inaugural 8th grade class as they presented their International Baccalaureate Community Projects and as we celebrated their crossover to high school. We could not be prouder of these young men and women. Watching them grow during their time here has been a joy. We have students who started here in kindergarten and are leaving fully equipped for high school. At Neely’s Bend World Cultures and International Arts K-8 we prepare students to be thinkers and global citizens. -8schools
