🎓 A New Tradition is Born! 🎓
Our graduation milestone celebration was a total success, and our hearts are so full! ❤️✨
A massive, heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who supported this amazing day. For the very first time, we welcomed back our former students—now high school graduates—to put on their caps and gowns and walk our halls once again. Seeing them inspire our current K-8 students was absolutely magical, and this will definitely be a tradition we do every single year! 🌟👨‍🎓👩‍🎓
📸 Swipe through to see pictures from this inaugural walk! If you captured any sweet moments, please drop them in the comments below! 👇
✨ We will be posting more photos later, so stay tuned! ✨

🚨 Attention 2nd & 3rd Grade Families 🚨
We are pivoting! Due to today’s conditions, our 2nd and third-grade field trip is heading to St. George for some indoor/outdoor fun. ☀️🏊‍♂️
Quick Reminders:
• Gear: Please ensure your student has their swimsuit and a towel.
• Action Needed: Teachers have reached out via email/text. If you haven’t already, please provide a verbal or written confirmation to your child’s teacher that this change is okay for your student.
We appreciate your quick response and flexibility as we work to make sure the kids still have an awesome day!
