You might be surprised at all the activity going on at the school during summer. Each year, this is the opportunity to improve, repair, and freshen up. The gym floor is resurfaced, carpets are cleaned, closets are reorganized, weeds are pulled. We’ve also added two new lights for the stage area in the gym that will help provide better coverage for drama and other events going on up front. Students will also get to learn a new control board for the lights that they can program for plays and exordium presentations.

We have been blessed with a beautiful building for our children and we want to teach them to be good stewards by modeling good stewardship for them. You can help us by coming to our workday happening in August which will put the final touches on the school before the new year begins. Watch for details in future Office Notes emails.

In the meantime, our administrative team is busy rounding up the countless details that go into preparing students and teachers for the upcoming school year so that we can all hit the ground running this fall. Teachers and administrators have been attending conferences and training sessions, and preparing lesson plans and classrooms during their “break.” And don’t forget the upper school retreat! Many hours are spent preparing for this intense 3-day event.

All this activity leads right up to the excitement of the first day of school. This year is extra special as we celebrate our 20th anniversary! Watch for some fun and interesting details and memories we will share throughout the school year.

Enjoy the rest of your summer!
