We had some very special visitors from Faithful Paws, and the energy in the building was incredible. Watching our students connect with these gentle therapy dogs is a reminder of how much a little furry friendship can brighten a school day. These visits provide more than just fun; they offer a moment of calm and emotional support for our kids.
A huge thank you to the volunteers at Faithful Paws for sharing your time and your wonderful dogs with us!

Our Gifted & Talented Showcase was a huge success! From the intricate engineering of suspension bridges to deep dives into the Fibonacci sequence in nature, our students blew us away with their creativity and expertise.
It’s one thing to build a project, but it’s another to stand tall and present your findings to the community. We are so proud of the confidence and public speaking skills these scholars displayed tonight. A huge thank you to the families who came out to support our young innovators!
