Beginning in March, our 3rd-5th Grade Sparks will have the unique opportunity to learn about the world of architecture.

Students will gain a deeper understanding – and appreciation – of their own communities and the world around them.
Registration closes this Friday, March 1.

School Supply Wish List
This past summer, we reviewed our supply lists and decreased the overall number of items requested from each family. However, as we head into our third Trimester, there are a few items that have been nearly depleted throughout the school. If you would be interested in helping us re-stock the shelves, please refer to our SignUp Genius Wish List HERE. We are grateful for your generosity!

We are excited to share with you the photobooth photos from the 2024 Daddy Daughter dance, along with several wonderful snapshots that parents have shared with us. We hope you enjoy reliving (or living vicariously!) through these great photos available HERE.
