Celebrating Moments That Matter
Embedded Files
Thank you to everyone for your support and teamwork as we moved through Review Week. With exams approaching next week, we feel ready and united to continue supporting our students in every way they need.
We would like to highlight the incredible success of the Beauty and the Beast musical. We are so proud of all the Middle School students who participated and of the amazing work behind the scenes that made this production such a success. Selling out tickets for six nights is no small feat and speaks to the talent, commitment, and collaboration of everyone involved.
We also want to celebrate our performing arts students. Congratulations to our Drama Ensemble for their wonderful performance at the Festival Colegio Einstein on January 20th, and to G Block for their fantastic performance on January 23rd. Their creativity, confidence, and dedication on stage made our community proud.
A big congratulations as well to everyone who participated in Menor League. What an amazing effort to showcase our teams, school spirit, and sportsmanship. Seeing our students represent Middle School with such energy and commitment was truly inspiring.
