Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s Walkathon — it was a joyful, high-energy afternoon filled with laughter, color-dabbed smiles, snacks, and games. It was wonderful to see our community come together in support of our school.
|
Thanks to your generosity, the Walkathon raised over $48,000, bringing our total for Giving Month + Walkathon to $168,000 — just 16% shy of our $200K annual goal.
|
💡 There’s still time to help us close the gap! You can return to the Walkathon registration page to make a donation for your student. Any contribution of $100 or more qualifies your student for prizes, which can be selected by the end of today from the Prize Store!

Our Annual Volunteer Tea on June 9 was a wonderful celebration of the many volunteers who help make our school community thrive. The morning included coffee, tea, breakfast, flower arranging, and the presentation of our Golden Acorn Awards to volunteers who have gone above and beyond in service to our school. One of the most memorable moments was the volunteer parade through the building, where students lined the halls with handmade signs and cheers of appreciation. It was a heartwarming reminder of the impact our volunteers have every day. Thank you to all who give their time, energy, and talents to support our students and staff!
