We were so happy for the return of Field Day after missing it the last 2 years due to COVID. Check out this video highlighting the fun, fitness, and fresh air!

Students participated in miércoles de música where they listened to Latin music during lunchtime. We saw our GORGEOUS Talavera wall go up in the main entryway, and we wore RED on Friday to celebrate Hispanic and Latinx culture.
