Welcome Back, Panthers!
We hope everyone had a wonderful and restful break! We are thrilled to be back together and ready for an exciting season of learning, growth, and fun.
This winter promises plenty of activities and opportunities for our students to shine. We’re looking forward to cheering on our Boys’ Basketball and Girls’ Volleyball teams as they hit the courts. Our School Play is in the works and will showcase the incredible talent and creativity of our students. And for those who love competition and strength, Wrestling season is just around the corner!
As the weather gets colder, please remember that students will be spending time outdoors, so make sure they come dressed in warm clothing. If your child needs winter gear, visit the Panther Den, which is open to the public and stocked with coats, hats, mittens, and more to keep everyone cozy.
