May Is Faculty Appreciation Month!
Join Us for May Day on Friday, May 3rd!
It is with great joy that we invite you to join us in celebrating our May Festival on Friday, May 3rd. May Day has been celebrated for centuries to herald the arrival of summer, and we are thrilled to be able to enjoy this festival as a community.
All school celebrations take place at Ann Becker Park, which is just a short distance from school. Times are as follows:
9-11am: NatureTots, Preschool, and Kindergarten
1:30pm: Grades 1-12
Please arrive at Ann Becker Park a few minutes before your child's celebration is set to begin. This event is weather permitting. In the case of inclement weather, a text will be sent out in advance of the event. Our current rain date is Tuesday, May 7th (again, weather permitting).
Please consider sending in a bouquet of ivy, vinca, or flowers for crown making, per instructions from your child's class teacher/s. If you'd like to help students with crown making on the morning of Friday, May 3rd, sign up here!
