Mr. Fernandez loves exploring the world with his wife and has traveled throughout Europe, Central America, and South America over the past several years.

Double File Trail will be hosting a Career Fair for students on Wednesday,
May 6th from 8:30-2:00. The purpose of this is to expose students to a
variety of careers in order to jumpstart their thinking about the future. By
preparing early, students will be more likely to be college and career
ready after high school graduation.

However, we can’t do it without you! We need volunteers to speak about
their careers. Please scan the QR code below and fill out your information
if you would like to volunteer to speak. Please RSVP by April 27th. Thank
you for your interest in signing up for our upcoming career fair! More
information will be communicated closer to the date.

✨📚 We’re celebrating the heart of our school—Ms. Rabe 💛 She does so much more than check out books… she creates a space where students feel safe, seen, and inspired. From helping our kids discover a love of reading to supporting teachers and bringing learning to life, her impact reaches every corner of our campus.

Because of you, Ms. Rabe, our library is full of magic—and so are our students. We are so grateful for everything you do. 💫
