This past Friday, our campus was filled with joy as more than 100 grandparents joined us for Drop Everything And Read (D.E.A.R.). Watching students and grandparents side by side with books in hand—while sharing bagels, laughter, and conversation—was a truly special moment.

Events like these remind us that our grandparents are a vital part of the village surrounding our children, helping raise them to excel, grow with confidence, and embrace the love of learning.

A big thank-you goes out to our amazing PTA volunteers for organizing and hosting such a meaningful morning. Your dedication makes a difference, and our Pride is stronger because of you.

With gratitude,

Mr. Carter
