Our Field Day on Friday, May 22nd, was an incredible event and a true celebration of our school community. Scholars enjoyed a carnival-style experience filled with exciting activities, including tug-of-war, a parachute station, gaga ball, carnival row, ax throwing, an obstacle course, and more. Each grade proudly wore their designated Field Day t-shirts as they rotated from station to station, bringing energy and enthusiasm to every activity. From our youngest PreK learners to our 5th graders, all of our scholars joined in the fun, and the day was filled with laughter, joy, teamwork, and collaboration.
We were especially grateful to see so many families come out to support the event, enjoy the beautiful weather, and share in the excitement as their children had a fantastic time. Events like this highlight the strength of our school community and the positive spirit that defines our school.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone who helped make the day so special. We are grateful to Garden Catering for sponsoring lunch, to our staff for ensuring a safe and smooth event, and to our PE teachers, Mr. O’Brien and Mrs. James, for their leadership and planning. We also appreciate our parent volunteers for their support and donations, and extend a very special thank you to Mr. Martin Krupa for his generous donation of the obstacle course and carnival row, which were clear highlights of the day.
Soar like Eagles,

Our Talent Show last night was a celebration of creativity and confidence, featuring an impressive range of acts including singing, dancing, piano performances, magicians, a Rubik’s Cube expert, and even a hilarious staff performance that had the audience laughing, especially me! Our K–5 scholars truly showed up and impressed the crowd with their talent and courage on stage, making it a fun and memorable experience for all. A special thank you to Stephanie Krupa and Kate Barton for organizing this wonderful event, dedicating time to rehearsals, capturing beautiful photos for each performer to take home, and creating such a meaningful opportunity for our students. Thank you also to Martin Krupa and David Barton for running the concession stand. A great time was had!
Our Annual Spring Concert was a huge hit, showcasing the incredible talents of our student musicians. Under the direction of Ms. Brown (Band), Mrs. Sanford (Orchestra), and Ms. Champion (Chorus), along with pianist Kate Miserocchi, our scholars in grades 3–5 demonstrated the results of their hard work and dedication. We were proud to offer two performances, a morning concert for our entire K–5 student body and an evening performance for families, which was standing room only and a true testament to the support of our school community. From start to finish, our young musicians impressed us with their skill, confidence, and growth, making the concert a memorable celebration of their efforts.
