Principles Points Principles Points

As we welcome the month of May, there’s a sense of excitement in the air! The days are getting warmer, the school year is wrapping up, and summer is just around the corner. It’s the perfect time to soak in the sunshine, play outside with friends, and enjoy the freedom that comes with the season.


We encourage all our students to take advantage of the beautiful weather—ride your bike, shoot some hoops, go for a walk, or build something amazing with sidewalk chalk. Just remember: have fun and stay safe. Wear helmets, drink plenty of water, and always be aware of your surroundings when you're outside playing.


May is also a time to reflect on all the growth and learning that’s happened over the school year. We’re so proud of the effort our students have put in, and we hope they carry that same energy and curiosity into the summer months—whether it’s reading a new book, exploring nature, or simply asking “why” and “how” about the world around them.


Let’s finish strong, take care of ourselves and each other, and head into summer with joy, confidence, and plenty of sunscreen!
