Great news! 🎉 We’re excited to share that nearly all board positions for the upcoming school year have been filled. Thank you to everyone who stepped up to support our community!

That said, we are still urgently looking to fill one key role: Treasurer. Even with the other positions filled, the board cannot be active next year without this role in place.

If you’re interested in getting more involved and making a meaningful impact, we’d love to have you join the board as Treasurer!

Please reach out to learn more or express interest.

Let’s keep the momentum going, we can’t do it without you! 💙

We hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing spring break and is ready to finish the last weeks of school strong! 💪🎉

Here are a few important updates and date changes from the principal:

📅 **Spring Showcase** → April 30th

🎉 **Field Day Dates**
• 6th Grade: June 4th
• 7th Grade: June 5th

🏫 **Last Day of School** → June 9th

As we look ahead to the next school year, **all PTSA Executive Board positions are currently open**. We would love to have more families get involved, your support truly makes a difference in our school community!

Let’s make these last weeks of school count! 💙

We are so proud of our amazing students and their accomplishments! 🎉👏
