Our students had a fantastic time during their recent trip to Preston High School to see the theater department’s performance of Shrek the Musical!

This special experience was more than just a fun day out—it was a wonderful opportunity for our students to get a glimpse of the exciting opportunities that await them beyond elementary school.

Students in grades K–4 who earned Perfect Attendance for the third grading period were surprised with this well-deserved trip. Their commitment to being present each and every day truly paid off!

Let this be a reminder: it pays to come to school all day, every day—you never know what exciting experiences might be waiting for you!
