September 30, 2024
September has been a busy and exciting month as we settle into our Back to School routine. We were thrilled with the amazing turnout for both Benny's Night and our Back to School Event—thank you to everyone who came out to support our school and students!
A special highlight this month was the visit from the Rainbow Puppets, who captivated our students with their wonderful storytelling. It was a memorable experience that everyone enjoyed.
We’re looking forward to an incredible year ahead, and we truly appreciate your continued support as we work together for our students’ success.
