Upper School Families,
We continue to emphasize kindness in Upper School. We know kindness goes a long way in making students feel seen and valued, and is a much needed character trait for the world in which we live. To encourage kindness, we are utilizing LiveSchool to reward students for exhibiting this behavior.
While we know Spring Break is on everyone’s minds, we want to remind of your the many events planned for Upper School this Spring. Our next Imagination Day will be on April 24th, and we are already looking forward to sharing another exciting day with them. Prom is on the horizon and details are included below. Additionally, Spring sports are up and running and our student athletes can be found on the soccer and lacrosse fields, volleyball and tennis courts, track, golf course, baseball fields and mountain bike trail every day!
As the weather warms we ask for your support in ensuring your students are coming to school in dress code. Students should be covered from armpit to mid-thigh (3-inch inseam).
Grounds Workday:
Save the date for the Grounds Workday on 3/20 from 1:30-4 pm. There will be a range of tasks suitable for all abilities. This is also a great way for students to earn volunteer hours. We invite you to join us for our Spring Clean-up event! Sign up here.
Blood Drive:
Our inaugural Blood Drive is scheduled for Friday, March 22nd. Register now to donate and save lives!
Yearbook Donation:
Last week was the deadline to purchase a yearbook. However, we made sure to order some extra copies for families. We would love for some of these copies to go to families that cannot afford to purchase a yearbook. Want to help? Click here. All proceeds will go towards scholarship yearbooks for our students.
