Spring

Enjoy Spring Break!

As we approach the end of the third quarter, we’d like to take a moment to celebrate all the hard work and dedication shown by our students and staff! They’ve tackled challenging assignments, participated in engaging activities, and celebrated many achievements!

Now, it's time for a well-deserved break! We wish you all a fantastic spring break filled with relaxation, fun, and time spent with loved ones. Whether you're traveling, staying local, or simply catching up on some rest, we hope you enjoy this time to recharge.

As we enjoy a well-deserved spring break, the fourth quarter is approaching quickly. We're eager to jump back in and finish the year strong!

We're excited to see you all refreshed and ready to learn when we return on Wednesday, April 3rd!

Happy Spring Break!

Ms. Sloan & Ms.  Hutchinson
