What's Roaring this week?

Lion Families:

What an exciting time at our school! Our students truly enjoyed the static display this week—it was a memorable experience that sparked a lot of curiosity and excitement. We are incredibly grateful to the soldiers who supported our school with such an engaging demonstration. Your time and dedication mean so much to our community.

A big thank you to all the parents who joined us for the Picnic! Despite the rain, your positive energy and support made the event a wonderful success. It was great to see so many of you out there, umbrellas and all!

Don’t forget—Wednesday is Purple Up! Day as we show our support for our military-connected students. We encourage everyone to wear purple in recognition of their strength and resilience.

This week is packed with fun and meaningful events, including Career Day, Skate Bash, and Principal’s Coffee. Be sure to check the flyers in this newsletter for all the details—we hope to see you there!

We would also like to shine a spotlight on the incredible students who participated in Dining at the Ritz. These students were selected for consistently demonstrating a positive attitude, which aligns with one of our core R.O.A.R. principles. We are so proud of them!

As we move into the 4th quarter, we are excited to see our students continue to grow and show responsibility—another key R.O.A.R. trait. Let’s finish strong!
