Excited to Share All that is Happening

We celebrated our Veterans this week, enjoyed Coffee after Carpool with your PVA, held a Spring Musical cast and parent dinner, our students performed in the One Act play competition, and our 8th graders learned about life in high school. On top of that we held a terrific open house and the Lower/Middle School building got a new name the Robert W. Moore Hall! It's a very fitting way to honor Robert - he loved that building.
 
There is a ton of information to share this week, I hope you will take the time to read what everyone has submitted. Everyone is excited about what is going on around campus and we hope that you are as well.
 
Have a terrific weekend - we might have some good weather.
