Sentinel Snapshot
May 29, 2026

Admin Corner
Each week I get to brag about our amazing kids, and this edition of the Snapshot is no different! Last Sunday, our Key Club volunteered to chalk the racecourse for Memorial Day Wear Blue Run to Remember. Last November we hosted the CEO and co-founder of this organization at our Veterans Day assembly, and she spoke to our students about service and sacrifice. Our students and staff volunteers agreed that it felt great to give back to our community and help an organization that supports our school and families.
It's a great day to be a Sentinel! - Jake

Last Chance to Purchase a Yearbook
We strongly encourage families to buy this year's student-made yearbook! With interviews and polls on every page as well as engaging photos and descriptive captions, student voices, experiences, and memories of the year have been preserved in a keepsake that will last forever. With our new Yearbook Plus feature with additional digital photos, even more students get to be in the spotlight. There are less than 60 units left, so buy your book today at Jostens.com before they sell out and remember this year worth sharing!
