Teachers at the Lower enjoyed an Easter Egg Hunt of their own.






A big thank you to Geffe for making it possible to bring archery to our upper elementary students, and to Coach Hacker for leading the way! Thanks to their support and leadership, our kids are learning archery in a super safe and structured environment—every step is slow, intentional, and guided by clear whistle signals. Safety always comes first, and the result is a program that’s not only incredibly safe, but also tons of fun! Proud to see our students learning new skills and having a blast.
#ThankyouGeffe







Creativity is hopping at the Upper Elementary! 5th grade art classes have been busy decorating eggs for Easter. Every egg (and student) is a cute, little masterpiece!
