A Note from Mr. Huntington

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). With these words Jesus invites us to cast our cares and worries on him. It is also a fitting reminder for the summer, where Jesus extends that same invitation to tired students (and teachers and parents) to find rest through Him. I pray that your summer is both rejuvenating and an opportunity to spend time in His presence.

Our theme for the 2023-2024 school year is “Connected” based on John 15:1-5, especially verse five: “[Jesus said] I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” Not only are we connected to Jesus Christ, but as His followers we are all connected to each other. This theme will be built on and expanded with the students throughout the year.

I am humbled to be serving you this year as school principal, and I look forward to being connected to you as a partner in your child’s education. I hope to see you August 7 at our Back-to-School Night.

SCHOOL UNIFORM DRIVE

Do you have old school uniforms that do not fit your child anymore? Wondering what to do with them? We would love to have you drop them by the office the week of July 17-21. We will then put the clothes on display for Back to School Night. Items will be sorted by sizes and we invite you to "purchase" gently used school clothes for the upcoming school year. We will be having a free will donation so feel free to shop on Monday, August 7th at the Back to School Event.
