Lost and Found

Is your child missing their brand new spring jacket? Most likely it’s in our Lost and Found! We are busting at the seams in both the Early School and 1-5 Building! It’s that time of year when many sweaters, jackets, and coats mysteriously end up in our Lost and Found. Please remember to write your name on all outerwear. This will help us return any lost items. If you are in the building, stop by and check for your child’s clothing!

Fifth Grade Living Landscapes Expo — May 15

The fifth-grade students are pleased to invite you to their Living Landscapes Expo on Friday, May 15, from 8-9 a.m. in Founders Hall. They have dedicated significant effort in science class to researching biomes, constructing detailed dioramas, and preparing informative poster presentations to create an engaging and immersive exploration of ecosystems from around the world. We hope you will be able to join us for this special event.
