First Quarter Highlights

• A Stellar Theatrical Performance: Our fall production of The Girls in the Boat was a remarkable achievement. The cast and crew’s dedication brought this challenging play to life, showcasing their talent and commitment.

• Athletic Success: Our fall sports teams have shown exceptional dedication and skill. The football and volleyball teams advanced to the sectional semifinals, while the field hockey team clinched the sectional title. Our cheerleading team’s outstanding performance earned them a sectional championship and a second-place finish at the state competition.

Five-year IB Evaluation

We recently underwent our 5-year IB evaluation and received overwhelmingly positive feedback. The evaluators were particularly impressed by our strong sense of community and the deep, caring relationships our staff fosters with students.

Upcoming Events

• Gratitude Festival: Join us for our 9th annual Gratitude Festival on Monday, November 25th.

• Spotlight Awards Ceremony: Invitations have been sent out to students who have received a Spotlight Award for demonstrating an aspect of our ASPIRE characteristics of Awareness, Safety, Perseverance, Integrity, Respect, and Empathy.

• National Honor Society Drives: The National Honor Society is organizing a food drive, toy drive, and coat drive to support local families in need. We kindly request your generous donations to help those in our community.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We look forward to a productive and fulfilling second quarter.

Sincerely,

Mr. Matt Mello
