Alumni Spotlight
Do you know a recent graduate of SKS doing amazing things in high school and beyond? Please share it with Mrs. Crowley so I can add it to the weekly newsletter. I want to continue sharing the wonderful things our alumni go on to do after their years at SKS!
We still have work to do!
Thank you for the outpouring of support in response to my announcement last week. Despite my decision for next year, I am looking forward to being fully present in the moment and making more memories with our students and teachers as we work together to finish the year strong! There are so many events and learning opportunities to look forward to these next few weeks. Let's enjoy them all!
Speaking of amazing events...if you missed SCAN last week please take time to watch the video above. Our students did an amazing job showcasing their talents and the beautiful artwork by our students displayed throughout the school building brought joy to all. If you did not get a chance to walk through the school art gallery, please feel welcome to visit school throughout the week to take a look.
God bless you!
Mrs. Crowley
