This Week's Photo


Happy Valentine's Day! Students, parents, and faculty had a wonderful time celebrating the holiday at our Valentine's Dance Party last Friday. See more photos on our Facebook p age by clicking here !

Thanks!

The Valentine's Dance Party was a wonderful success because of the support of the parent community, faculty and staff, and of course the children, who danced with joy and abandon.

Thanks again to all who took us up on our offer to visit Lower School last Wednesday!
