Thank You, Hispanic Heritage Participants!
Shout out to the Hispanic Heritage Committee led by Ben Bradshaw and Ana Mejia! Thank you to everyone who played a role in the entire event. It was spectacular and our students SHINED! It was a wonderful way to end our Hispanic Heritage Month celebration.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to all the parents who brought food and shared! It was wonderful. Special thanks to Ms. Carslon who helped coordinate OUR parents and the awesome dishes they brought.

IB Learner Profile: Balanced
During the month of October, we will focus on the IB Learner Profile: BALANCED
Students who are BALANCED are healthy and are aware that eating properly and exercising is important in their lives. They understand that it is important to have a balance between the physical and mental aspects of their bodies. They spend time doing many different things. How can parents help to develop students who are well-balanced at home?
- Encourage your child to participate in a wide variety of structured activities.
- During less structured time, also be aware of the activities that your child is participating in. Too much time in front of the computer or television is obviously not desirable, but all kids need to do a variety of things. Generally active kids should take time for quiet reading or reflection; students who spend a lot of time drawing or reading, should be encouraged to also exercise and play.
- Discuss the food groups with your child. Spend a few minutes during a mealtime deciding if what your family is eating is balanced.
- Role model this attribute. Spend time as a parent or family doing many different things.
