Our fabulous Fine and Performing Arts Team Filmed Today's Concert!

Dear Families,

As we approach the final stretch of the school year, I find myself feeling incredibly proud and full of gratitude. Today’s Spring Concert was a shinning example of everything that makes our school community so special.

What a beautiful celebration of music, culture, and student talent! The selection of music was not only entertaining but also deeply inspiring—reflecting the rich diversity of our students and the thoughtful work of our music educators. Each piece felt like a heartfelt tribute to the many voices and stories within our school.

The solo performances were truly remarkable. It takes courage and dedication to stand before an audience, and our student performers did so with poise and passion. Every note, every word, every movement spoke to the hours our teachers put in throughout the year with our students.

Equally moving was the way the rest of the student body responded—with such grace, support, and respect. It was heartwarming to witness them cheering quietly, listening attentively, and celebrating their peers in a way that reflects our core values and the strength of our school community.

As the year winds down, events like this remind us of all we’ve accomplished together. The growth, the connection, and the moments of shared joy—it’s been an incredible journey, and we’re not done just yet.

Thank you for your continued support, partnership, and for being such an integral part of what makes our school feel like home. We look forward to ending the year strong and celebrating all that our students have achieved.
With appreciation and warmth,

With Gratitude,
Stacy
