October is for Hope, Joy, and Wonder!

Head's Note  

A big thank you to everyone who helped to make our Grandparents Day such a big success! It was heart-warming to witness so many lovely interactions with our visitors--conversations and sharing that melted away generational differences. And while Grandparents Day is now behind us, I hope our students' grandparents and special friends will continue to visit our school throughout the year. What they witnessed on Friday is only just the beginning of an exciting educational journey that will last throughout the year. 

Click here for the candid photos of the day, and stay tuned for your professional portraits. You may also view the livestream video of the performance assembly, and feel free to share the link with your family and friends!

Yours truly, Brad
