December 2024
It’s hard to believe that our first semester is already coming to an end! We've had a wonderful start to the school year, filled with growth, learning, and a true sense of community. Our students have made impressive academic strides and, even more inspiring, they've come together to support those in need. Through our Trick or Treat so Others Can Eat event, we collected enough food to create Thanksgiving baskets for 45 families. Additionally, the Student Council's food drive gathered over 1,000 food items to support our local food pantry. I continue to be amazed by the generosity and big hearts of our students and families. Your support and kindness truly make a difference, and we are incredibly grateful for all that you do. Enjoy the holidays with your loved ones. Winter Break will begin on December 20, and students will return on January 6. Thank you for making the first half of the year so memorable!
