Falcon Families,
We’re in the final stretch—graduation is next week, and our seniors are almost there! 🎓 Let’s celebrate them during our Senior Countdown this Friday, May 30th—their last official day of school!
This week is all about finishing strong. We’ll have Office Hours this Thursday, so it’s the perfect time for students to check in with their teachers before finals, ask questions, and get support.
To all our Falcons: Please finish strong. Communicate. Ask for help. Celebrate your hard work and enjoy these final moments with your friends before summer begins. You’ve come so far, and we’re proud of you!
With Falcon pride,
- Miss Hoang
With Congratulations to the Class of '25 and ALL the folks who helped them get to this special moment 🙌
