A HUGE and much deserved congratulations to Joni Borghesi, the IPEF April 2026 A+ Award Winner! Joni was recognized on Tuesday morning and we are beyond blessed that she is a part of our White Tiger family!

We are excited to celebrate this year’s Yearbook Cover Contest winners! Congratulations to our talented students whose designs beautifully captured our theme, “Together, We’re Unlimited.” Their creativity, originality, and artistic expression truly stood out, and we are so proud to feature their work in our yearbook. Thank you to all who participated—your imagination and school spirit made this a tough decision. We can’t wait for everyone to see the final yearbook and celebrate the incredible talent within our school community!

As we head into the final stretch of the school year, we’re excited about our ABC Countdown—a fun and engaging way to celebrate the last 26 days of school! Each day will feature a different letter of the alphabet paired with a special activity, theme, or spirit day for students to enjoy. From silly dress-up days to creative classroom activities, the ABC Countdown is a great way to keep students motivated, build community, and make lasting memories as we wrap up the year.

Our office has kept a small supply of extra snacks for students who occasionally forget, but our supply is out We kindly ask families to help by packing a snack each morning so that all students have what they need to get through the day successfully.

Thank you for your support in helping keep our students fueled and ready to learn!
