• August 10, 11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. - 8TH GRADE LEADERSHIP COUNCIL
  • The Leadership Council "kick off" summer meeting will give the 8th grade students the opportunity to learn what the focuses will be for this organization throughout the upcoming school year. As we have in the past, the students will learn how to facilitate events such as the middle school dances, plan and implement service projects, and how to best help our school community in a variety of areas. Students will brainstorm ideas for service projects and fundraisers, along with themes for the dances. In keeping with the challenging world around us, these 8th grade students will spend time this school year learning about how to set goals, both individually and as a group, how to build consensus within the group so that progress can be made, and what separates a team from a group. We will work closely with our School Counselor, Mrs. Kris Sanchez, who will guide us through some career counseling, which is tied to the goal-setting focus.
• August 11, 5:30 a.m. - 6:30 p.m. - KINDERGARTEN - RISING 3RD GRADE GET-TOGETHER
  • Join us in the cafeteria for a summertime get-together. Children will make a fun craft as well as enjoy smoothies! Teachers will be on hand to answer questions.

The spring performance gives kids a chance to show their talent on stage and in front of their parents.
