The Bruin Bulletin - 08/14/26
August 14, 2026
Dear Bruin Family,
On Monday, August 17, our campus will spring to life once again as we officially begin the 2026-27 school year. The hallways will be filled with conversation and laughter, the playground buzzing with joyful energy, and the classrooms alive with learning and discovery. As someone who spent much of the summer working in the quiet of an empty campus, I cannot wait to see our school filled with students, families, and staff once again.
This year, we will focus on being faithful in the little things. Our schoolwide theme, Small Acts, Great Love, reminds us that even the simplest actions can have a lasting impact. Whether it is offering a kind word, helping a classmate, showing gratitude, or putting forth our very best effort each day, these small acts reflect God's love in meaningful ways. Together, we will strive to build a community where compassion, service, and excellence are woven into our daily lives, demonstrating that great love is most often shown through ordinary moments.
Our gates will open at 7:45 a.m. on Monday morning, and our faculty and staff will be ready to warmly welcome back, or welcome for the very first time, our Bruins. We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with you in your child's education and faith journey, and we look forward to all that God has in store for us this year.
Please scroll through the newsletter for important information regarding the first week of school, as well as recaps and resources from our Back-to-School Night presentations.
We can't wait to see you on Monday. Let's make it a wonderful year together! 🐻💙
Sincerely,
Mr. Ryan Nearhoff
