We extend our warmest congratulations to them for their hard work and dedication. We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to all the parents who attended the celebration to support and cheer for their children.

Civics Week 2024 is on - March 11-15th, 2024! Civics Week is a time each spring for schools across the city to celebrate youth voice, civic empowerment, and the importance of registering to vote. Civics Week includes efforts to get every young person to understand that their voice matters and that they can create change as active participants of their community.

The theme for Civics Week 2024 is Democracy Needs YOU!

This year's theme is intended to ensure that our students know that democracy requires all of us to participate, regardless of age or voting eligibility.
