One highlight from our final week of school was Mini-Course Day! Students had the opportunity to step outside their usual classroom routines and explore new interests, learn new skills, and enjoy hands-on experiences with their classmates and teachers. From creative projects to exciting activities, the day was filled with curiosity, laughter, and learning.

Mark your calendars for Sunday, August 16th, for a fantastic day on the course. Whether you're chasing a hole-in-one or just here for the laughs, we want you there!

Here are the details you need to know:
⏰ Time: 12:30 PM Shotgun Start (Don't be late!)
📍 Where: Portage Country Club

The gym is a little too quiet, the playground is still, and we already miss the energy, laughter, and smiles that fill our school every day. 🌲✨

​Although it’s quiet around here right now, we are already missing our Knights! We hope all of our students, families, and staff are having a wonderful, safe, and blessed start to the summer!

We invite our entire school family, alumni, and friends to help us give her the send-off she deserves.
