A huge round of applause to our 8th grade graduates! You’re officially flying the Cardinal nest and soaring off to high school! We can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll do—we just know you'll make us proud. Big cheers to our incredible teachers who’ve cheered you on, challenged you, and helped you spread those wings.
Let’s also give a loud and happy shoutout to our Kindergarten grads who walked across the stage this morning, ready to take on the big school in 1st grade! Thank you to our awesome Early Childhood Center teachers for making their first steps as Cardinals full of joy, laughter, and learning.
And last but definitely not least… Congratulations, parents! You made it through the school year! From early alarms to late-night homework help, lunch packing to carpool lines—you’ve been amazing. THANK YOU for all the love and support you’ve given our students and staff. Now go enjoy your well-earned summer break (and maybe sleep in a little)!
Here’s to a fantastic end of the school year!
