Thank you to all those who were able to come out for our Spring Parent Teacher Conferences. The hallways were buzzing with excitement and beautiful art work. We hope you enjoyed hearing from your student(s) about what they've learned and their accomplishments so far this school year. We appreciate your support!

Please see all of the wonderful things that happened in our school during the month of March as well as events on the horizon.

On March 13th, we held our annual STEM Fair featuring nearly 40 incredible student scientists. From engineering marvels to deep-dive research, the displays were a true testament to our students' curiosity and hard work. A huge thank you to the families and staff who came to support our young researchers. Your presence makes all the difference in fostering the next generation of thinkers! Thank you to Mrs. Wolfskill for a wonderful night of learning and fun!

On Thursday, March 26 and Friday, March 27 the hallways were transformed into a world-class gallery. We hope you got to enjoy student masterpieces as well as the staff showcase which featured secret talents you may not have known our amazing staff has! Thank you, Miss Leitner, for putting the incredible show together, we couldn't do it without your vision and dedication.

We are very grateful to Texas Roadhouse in Ephrata for providing incentives to staff who are recognized by their peers. Thank you to our amazing staff for all you do for our students!
