PreK open house will be held next Thursday, August 24th from 3:30-7:00pm


Last night our Open House was held. We welcomed over 100 families. Students and their families rotated through stations with their passports to receive important information about our school. At station 6, each student scratched off to reveal who their teacher will be for the 23-24 school year. Completed passports were entered to win door prizes which will be distributed once school starts. We enjoyed seeing our students and are ready for our Cardinals to soar this school year! If your student was unable to attend, they will receive the information provided to those in attendance of Open House.

We just wrapped up our second day of outdoor recreation camp at North Bend. We aren’t sure who’s having more fun… students or teachers! 😎 Some activities students have participated in so far include creek critters🪲, tie dye🎨, archery🏹, boating🚣♂️, tracks and scat🐾, rock painting🪨 and swimming🏊♀️. We’ve had our highest number in attendance this year with 130 students! This camp is so much fun for everyone. We can’t wait for the next 6 days!
