To keep the back-to-school excitement going, we host Fancy Friday shortly after the first day, and our teachers and administrators get in on the fun. Fancy was whatever each person wanted it to be, and we saw everything from Halloween costumes to ballgowns and three-piece suits.

This year, in addition to paparazzi, we had some red carpet correspondents on the scene. Stay tuned for an incredibly cute reel coming soon, thanks to the amazing Ms. Reilly!

Second Grade Sign In! Our second grade Cubs kicked Second Grade Sign In! Our second grade Cubs kicked off the new school year with a creative twist. Our amazing Lower School Art & Engineering Teacher, Ms. Porter, designed a hands-on way for our oldest Cubs to sign in to Grade 2 during the first week of school. Simple ideas, big smiles watching them seemingly write their names in the air.

Next school year, these Cubs will head to our Upper School. In the meantime, they are our role models to our younger Cubs on campus.
