✨Wrapping up the year with one of our brightest highlights! ✨

As we look back on a year filled with learning, laughter, and growth — one moment that truly captured our hearts was our school-wide theater performance of Oliver Jr., based on Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist. 🎭🌟

Our talented students brought to life the timeless tale of young Oliver, who journeys through hardship and hope in search of love and belonging. From the spirited Artful Dodger to the kind Nancy and the infamous Fagin, our cast shone with heart, humor, and soul — and the songs? Unforgettable! 🎶 “Consider Yourself” and “Food, Glorious Food” rang through our campus with joy and pride!

More than just a performance, this production reminded us how art unites us — allowing our children to express themselves, to tell stories, to create together, and to feel the magic of teamwork and transformation. 💫💛

We’re beyond grateful to all the volunteers and families who helped make this possible, and especially to @pollyshannonofficial — whose passion for theater, commitment, and creativity sparked something unforgettable in our students and our whole community. 👏🎬

From the historically inspired costumes to the beautifully performed songs and scenes, this was more than a school play — it was a celebration of imagination, resilience, and the power of coming together.

Here’s to a school year well lived — and curtain call to a memory we’ll carry with us forever

✨ Dance Through the Decades – What a Night! ✨

Thank you SO much to everyone who came out and made our Dance Night such an unforgettable event! From the incredible costumes to the non-stop energy on the dance floor—every moment was pure joy!

We were blown away by the creativity, the moves, and the spirit. We truly couldn’t pick a favorite look—you all rocked it!

Huge thanks to our amazing parents, volunteers, and friends who helped bring the night to life. It was a night full of fun, laughter, and community magic. We’re still smiling!

Today’s Principal? Teo Zamplas! ✨

Our campus had a very special leader in charge — Principal for a Day Teo Zamplas!
Teo took on the role with a big smile and lots of heart, joining in on activities and even reading to some of our younger students.

It was a joy to have him step into the principal’s shoes for the day.

Thank you, Principal Teo, for helping make today so special!
