🌟 Today we celebrate the behind-the-scenes heroes who keep our school shining bright—our amazing custodians! 🌟
From early mornings to late evenings, they work tirelessly to make sure our classrooms, hallways, and facilities are clean, safe, and welcoming. Their hard work and big hearts don’t go unnoticed, and we are so grateful for all they do for our students and staff. 💙✨
Please join us in thanking our custodians today and every day! 🧹🪣👏

🎨✨ This week in Principal's Principles, our students celebrated International Dot Day!
What is Dot Day, you ask? It’s a day to celebrate creativity, courage, and self-expression! Our students explored the inspiring story The Dot, discovering how a simple mark can grow into something amazing when we are brave and try new things.
They brainstormed ways to overcome challenges, reflected on how it feels to step out of their comfort zones, and celebrated the power of believing in themselves.
Dot Day is also a time to celebrate our teachers, who encourage students every day to take risks, try new ideas, and express themselves. A little dot can make a BIG impact—thanks to the guidance of our amazing educators! 💫
