✨🎉 Happy New Year, Lynx Community! 🎉✨

We hope everyone enjoyed a joyful and restful holiday break. We look forward to starting the new year together with continued success.

Before heading into break, our Lynx Campus came together to celebrate the holiday season with a festive and joyful Lynx Holiday Celebration. Thanks to the generosity of our PVO and families, staff received thoughtful holiday gift bags, and every student was sent off into Winter Break with a gift—ensuring all our Orcas felt appreciated and celebrated.

Our Holiday Gift Card Drive wrapped up with incredible family support, and words truly are not enough to express how grateful we are to the families who participated so generously. Your kindness brought so much encouragement to our teachers and staff, who were sincerely appreciative of the gift cards they received.

Staff also enjoyed Lynx favorites like Secret Santa and White Elephant games, filling campus with laughter and holiday cheer. A special thank you to Ms. Lavoy and her secret elves for organizing the fun!
