As we finish the week, don’t forget—the annual Easter Egg Hunt is happening tomorrow,. Saturday, April 19th at the Train Park! It’s a fun event for all ages with games, hot dogs, a coloring contest, and of course… eggs to find! 

We’re still looking for a few more volunteers to help hide eggs, serve food, and clean up. If you’re able to lend a hand, we’d love to have you join us. Let’s make this another great community tradition!

Finishing Strong, Together

As we head into the middle of April, the momentum around campus is unmistakable. Spring brings with it a renewed energy—students are engaged, projects are wrapping up, and staff are working hard to make the last stretch of the school year meaningful and memorable.

This time of year also calls for a special kind of focus. Whether it's prepping for state assessments, coordinating field trips, or working on strategic planning and professional growth, our team is showing up every day with purpose and care. The work can be tiring, but it’s also incredibly rewarding.

To our families: thank you for sticking with us through the busy days and supporting your students at home. We couldn’t do it without you.
