It has been an incredible week for our Middle School performers and athletes! From the beautiful melodies at the MS/HS Music Concert to the celebration of grit and teamwork at our Athletics Banquet, this week truly highlighted the amazing talents our students possess outside of the classroom. We are so proud of the dedication they’ve shown to their crafts and their teams all year long. Seeing them balance rigorous academics with such high-level extracurricular achievement is a testament to their character and a highlight of our school year.

As we look toward next week, we are heading into a significant assessment period. Our students have been working hard to prepare, and now it’s time to show what they know. I want to encourage all our Scorpions to prioritize rest and a good night’s sleep this weekend so they can arrive on campus ready to go and focused. This is the final lap of the academic year, and we want everyone to feel confident and prepared to do their absolute best.

Finally, I want to warmly invite our entire community to celebrate our Grade 8 students at their Moving Up Ceremony on Monday, May 18th, at 6:00 p.m. in the Theater. This ceremony is the culmination of their entire Middle School experience—a time to reflect on how far they’ve come and to cheer them on as they prepare for the adventures of High School. We know that many of our families and students are still connecting with us from afar, so we are pleased to offer a live stream of the event so that everyone, no matter where they are, can be part of this milestone celebration.
