Field Day
Field Day is Friday. We’re working on arranging students, drivers, and vehicles so that we can all get up to South Carolina for the event. Our plan is to have cars leave school as soon as they are full on Friday morning, with the LAST cars leaving campus at 7:45 am. It will be a long day, but it will be a fun one.
Spring Music Recital
The annual Spring Music Recital is Sunday afternoon (April 26). Some students are in the 2pm recital, and others in the 4pm recital. Parents of musicians, if you’re not sure which recital to attend, please contact your child’s music instructor ASAP. We would be more than happy to have lots of people attend the recital and encourage our young musicians.
Plays and Musicals and Dramas, Oh My!
There are three different student groups readying dramatic performances as we get close to the end of the school year. Here are the ages, dates, and times.
1st-4th Grades - Wednesday, April 29, 4:00pm

Ending the Year Strong
The end of the year is full of trips, presentations, MAP testing, and all sorts of culminating activities. We do our best to keep going with academic rigor as close to the end of the school year as possible. Please continue to encourage curiosity and grit in your students as we seek to finish the year with strength in a way that gives glory to God.
