Mondays with Mike: 40 Days and counting…

As the school year draws to a close, we’re excited about the accomplishments and activities that have enriched our students’ lives.Our mission trips to Costa Rica and Puerto Rico were profoundly impactful, fostering significant spiritual and personal growth.

The weeks ahead are filled with important academic deadlines and vibrant school events. From AP exams to the spring musical “Newsies”, and prom, our students have a busy schedule. We continue to focus on holistic education—providing academic rigor with spiritual and relational growth. This time of year is crucial for solidifying the growth over the course of the year. Our end-of-year school activities, tests and projects, including athletics and the arts, is designed to foster this “locking in” for you child’s growth.

Please watch your calendars with the All-School Peak, and encourage your children to stay focused, as the year concludes. The support they receive from you is vital in helping them finish strong. We are looking forward to celebrating the upcoming achievements together and preparing for a successful transition into the summer.
