We are thrilled to announce that Scholars Collective has generously gifted us two brand-new 3D printers! For those unfamiliar, Scholars Collective is an incredible organization that partners with schools to enhance learning through innovative resources and opportunities. They have been a fantastic supporter of our school, and we are so grateful for this amazing gift!

We’re excited to have these cutting-edge devices available for our students and can’t wait to see the creativity and innovation they inspire. The possibilities are endless, and we look forward to sharing the amazing projects our students create in the near future!

We’re excited to announce that we will be starting after-school snack sales every Tuesday and Thursday! Items will vary each week, but we’ll do our best to always offer some fan favorites. Students can begin purchasing snacks at 2:45 pm, and sales will wrap up by 3:20 pm.

Since we’re just getting started, this is a fantastic opportunity for parents to earn service hours! We’re looking for 4 parent volunteers per day to help out on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm. If you’re interested, please email Miss Dueñas or let Miss Jasmine in the front office know.

We also welcome donations, which can count toward service hours as well! More details to come once we’ve had a few sales. Let’s make this a fun and successful project for our students!

We’re excited to share how many students are participating in each of our sports teams this season!

- Football A Team: 7 players

- Football B Team: 5 players

- Football C Team: 6 players

- Volleyball A Team: 7 players

- Volleyball B Team: 11 players

- Volleyball C Team: 9 players

While we’re thrilled with the turnout, we’re currently facing a challenge with our Football B Team, which only has 5 players. Unfortunately, we need at least 6 players to field a team. If you know of any students who are interested in joining, please tell them to sign up ASAP! Let’s work together to make sure every team can hit the field this season!

We are still waiting on CYO to give us the game schedule. As soon as they share that with us, I will share it with you all.

Parents, it’s that time of year again—Fall Sports are here! We're thrilled to offer Girls Volleyball for students in 3rd through 8th grade.

Don’t worry—Volleyball practice will not interfere with Dance Team commitments. We’re still waiting on the final game schedules from CYO. Once we have that, we will have more practice information-- most likely starting next week.
