School Highlights

What a whirlwind start to our week, with not one, but two snow days! I hope everyone had the opportunity to enjoy the extra time off.


To kick off the week, we held a school-wide assembly to introduce the mascot of our school, and to present our Virtue Card competition to the students. Currently, students must earn 50 virtue cards to become a "Wise Owl," and many students have set their sights on achieving over 200 virtue cards! We are thrilled to see students actively embracing the core values of our school:


  • O: Observe proper decorum
  • W: Work diligently in pursuit of excellence
  • L: Lead with moral character
  • S: Serve with noble purpose


We look forward to welcoming the parents of current students to our Communication Night on January 14th at 6:00 p.m, and prospective families on one of our many upcoming information nights. Please see our website for the schedule and to RSVP.


Best Wishes,


Anna Johnson

Office Manager/Registrar
