Howdy Titan Family!
Our campus newsletter is back!
I can’t believe we are so close to the end of this year! It is such a joy to reflect on all the amazing things our Titans have accomplished.
I have learned a great deal about what it means to be a Middle School student, and honestly, it is not easy. This is why I am even more passionate about all of us, students, staff, and families, working together to support our Titans. There is no better way but together, and we will keep this up for the next couple weeks, and then into next school year.
I am truly starting to get sad about our 8th graders that are off to High School next year. We have some incredible leaders on this campus. They have taught me a great deal about what it means to rise above the social pressures and focus on what is important.
I am getting excited about our 7th graders that will be stepping up into the lead roll next year as our new campus leaders. They have taught me how to enjoy the good in my life.
We will continue working toward lifting one another up and helping each other out!
I am also super pumped about our 6th graders that are coming up! Titan Tours was a whirlwind of fun this last Monday. They are excited about this new adventure!
Thank you to everyone who is part of our Titan Family. We truly have worked through challenges while having so much to celebrate!
Thank you for your support!
Let’s finish strong, Titans!
Adventure Awaits!
