🎂🧡💙It’s Camelback Cake Day! 💙🧡🎂
Today, we’re excited to welcome Camelback High School to campus during lunch as they celebrate our Warriors who will soon become Spartans!
🍰 8th grade students who have completed their Camelback High School registration will enjoy cake served by their future Camelback administrative team — a sweet way to kick off the transition to high school! Have your 8th grader reach out to Mrs. Williams if they need help with registration.
❗ Haven’t registered for high school yet? There’s still time!
To help make the transition as smooth as possible, we strongly recommend that all 8th grade students register for the high school of their choice before leaving middle school.
We’re proud of our Warriors and excited for their next chapter! 💙🧡
