Unfortunately, Mother Nature did not cooperate for us to have GRE Movie Night tonight so we are going to postpone until next week. Please mark your calendars with our new date – Friday, Oct. 14. After a day of having the kids at home (as there is no school on Oct. 14), bring them up at 6:30 to enjoy our movie night! Thank you for understanding and we look forward to seeing you for our rescheduled movie outside on October 14.

Students and staff were introduced to our Eagles Nests today. Please make sure to ask them about their experiences with this and what they named their nest. Since today was our first one, we spent time getting to know each other and some started creating their flag that will represent their nest. In our future nests, we will get to do civic engagement activities and have more team-building fun.

Thanks to your generosity, our school raised just over $15,000 with our Apex fundraiser! We are so excited to be able to resurface our basketball court and provide upgrades to our classrooms! Thank you all for your support!!!
