New Year, New Fun!

Welcome Back! We hope you enjoyed a fun and relaxing holiday with your families and that you're refreshed and ready for the second half of the school year. There is lots of fun in store! January was time for us to reconnect with our Spirit Night at Stars & Strikes and the fan favorite, High Five Friday, led by our Dads on Duty. We are busy planning for our two most popular events in the coming months, the Father-Daughter Dance in February and Mother-Son Bash in March. Before we know, spring will be here with lots more fun! Wishing you all the best in the New Year!
