Lower School Families,
We have had a great start to the school year and are so appreciative of your support to get the school year kicked off. This week, we selected our newest Junior Imagineers and are excited to start meeting with and working with them. After fall break, our 5th grade Safety Patrollers will be trained and are eager to begin working at arrival and dismissal.
