March
March is here! This month marks a season of transition—hopefully from winter’s chill to the warmer, spring-like weather, highlighted by our spring break. It’s also a pivotal time academically, as we step into the fourth quarter of the school year.
March is an important month for our school, filled with both academic and extracurricular opportunities. We invite you to be part of the excitement and join us for events happening at our school and across the district.
Please see the details below to stay informed about everything happening in the month of March!

National School Breakfast Week
March 3rd - 7th
Next week, March 3-7, we’re celebrating National School Breakfast Week! Our fantastic food service department has planned exciting activities and a delicious breakfast menu to make mornings extra fun for our students.
This year’s theme is "Clue In to a Good Breakfast." If your child eats breakfast at school, be sure to ask them about the fun surprises happening in the cafeteria each morning. Hint: Some detective skills may be required to uncover the mystery of our surprise servers each day!
We can’t wait to kick off a week of good food and great fun! 🍽️🔍
