Our 8th graders got a glimpse of what’s ahead with their high school visit today! Moments like this remind us how far they’ve come and how ready they are for the next step. We’re proud of this group and excited to see what they do next.

So proud of our 2nd graders and the incredible work they are doing as writers! Students recently had the opportunity to share their original pieces, including both nonfiction and narrative writing. From teaching us new facts to telling creative, personal stories, their writing was fun to listen to!. We love seeing the growth they’ve shown and the way they are developing as thoughtful, expressive writers. Keep it up, 2nd grade! ✏️

Miss RC and Miss Katie—our dynamic duo and truly our Administrative Assistant extraordinaires. They are the steady hands behind the scenes, the problem-solvers, the listeners, and the ones who somehow keep everything moving forward—even on the busiest days. From the smallest details to the biggest needs, they handle it all with care, patience, and a genuine heart for our school. They are, without a doubt, the glue that holds us together. Today, we just want to say thank you—for the countless things you do that often go unseen, for the kindness you show to everyone who walks through the door, and for the way you make our school a better place every single day. ❤️ HAPPY • ADMINISTRATIVE • ASSISTANT •DAY! ❤️

There’s more to a small school than meets the eye.

When a student walks through our doors in preschool, they become part of something bigger. For the next decade, we invest in them—academically, socially, and personally. We take that responsibility seriously, because it’s more than a job… it’s our passion.

Our goal has always been to grow lifelong learners—students who are prepared, confident, and ready for what’s next.

As our Class of 2026 moves on, we couldn’t be more proud of who they have become. They are a reflection of years of growth, effort, and community.

We are a small school doing big things!

Only 15 more days with this crew! We are so proud of our 8th grade class and the ways in which they have grown. It’s been a year of learning, stretching, and stepping into who they are becoming. We have seen their resilience, their leadership, and the way they’ve shown up for each other and our school community. These last days are a chance to finish strong, make a few more memories, and take pride in how far they’ve come. We will be highlighting each one of our 8th grade graduates over the next few weeks. We’re grateful for this group and excited for what’s ahead of them.
