This week truly demonstrated the best of our students and staff:
We celebrated creativity and community spirit with fantastic Fine Arts Nights and the imaginative Pumpkin Contest at BES.
We saw tremendous pride as our Varsity Football team kicked off the playoffs and as we hosted Volleyball Districts.
And a massive congratulations again to both our Boys and Girls Cross Country teams as they compete today at the State Finals!
Thank you, once again, for providing the stability, care, and engaging opportunities that allow our students to excel even amidst the wonderful chaos of high-stakes competition and holiday fun. Your work makes all these memorable moments possible.
