 Exciting Announcement from the PTA

We are delighted to introduce the newest (and furriest) member of our PTA team: Keanu, who will be serving as our inaugural Barketing Director. Keanu joins us with a strong background in enthusiasm, loyalty, and community engagement. In his new role, he will be helping to promote a positive atmosphere, increase smiles, and support our events with his signature charm.

 

Please join us in welcoming Keanu as he begins this important (and adorable) position!

 

 CREATURE TEACHER 

 

Our recent Creature Teacher PTA assembly was an unforgettable event that left a lasting impression on the entire school community!

From the moment our special guest arrived, students were completely captivated by the array of fascinating creatures. The hands-on experience with some truly eerie crawlers provided an exhilarating adventure for the kids. They couldn’t contain their excitement—some were even a little too eager to wrap their hands around the snake! This engaging and educational experience truly brought learning to life in the most captivating way imaginable.

A heartfelt thank you to Creature Teacher for orchestrating such a magical and memorable day filled with wonder and discovery!

 

Reflection -Art Contest

 We are thrilled to share some exhilarating news! Our talented students have truly SHINED this year, catching the eye of the Council PTA with their awe-inspiring creativity and unwavering dedication. They’ve dazzled everyone with their achievements, earning prestigious honors such as the Award of Excellence, the Award of Merit, Honorable Mentions, and Certificates of Participation in the Reflection Art Contest! Their remarkable hard work, boundless passion, and stunning artistic vision have left us all utterly inspired!
