20 Year Time Capsule Burial Ceremony

We are excited to share a special moment in our school’s history — the Time Capsule Burial Ceremony! 📦✨

On Wednesday, June 4th, students, staff, and families came together to preserve memories, messages, and mementos that reflect who we are today. This time capsule will be unearthed in 2045, offering future generations a glimpse into our present. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this memorable event. We hope you enjoy reliving the celebration through this video!

6th Grade Promotion Livestream

On Friday, June 6th, we celebrated a very special milestone—our amazing 6th graders being promoted! This is a moment of pride, reflection, and joy as we honor the hard work, growth, and achievements of our students. Over the past year, they’ve learned, laughed, and led with courage, kindness, and determination.

To our 6th graders: You’ve made us so proud. You are ready for the next big adventure—middle school! Keep believing in yourself, stay curious, and never stop striving to be your best.

To our families and staff: Thank you for your support, guidance, and love. This moment is as much yours as it is our students’.
