BULLETIN BOARD
What a show!
Our school community was recently treated to an absolutely wonderful production of Annie. Our student actors, stage crew, and directors brought incredible energy, talent, and heart to the stage. From the memorable songs to the thoughtful set work and seamless backstage coordination, the show was a true team effort and a shining example of what our students can accomplish when they work together.
Most importantly, we want to recognize the courage it takes to step onto a stage in front of an audience. Performing requires vulnerability, confidence, and a willingness to take risks—qualities we are proud to nurture in our students. Every student who participated demonstrated dedication, creativity, and bravery.
We are incredibly proud of every performer, crew member, and adult who supported this production. Thank you for helping create such a special experience for our students and our community.
Bravo to the entire Annie team—we are so proud of you!
Thank you for joining us in the Everglow Forest!
Recently, our school was transformed into a whimsical woodland for Literacy Night at the Everglow Forest! We had so much fun with you! Students and families engaged in forest-themed interactive stations (coloring fairy doors, hunting for fairy dust, making puppets, etc) and storybook-themed activities -- complete with surprise mystery readers!
