✨ Spotlight Moment! ✨
On November 21, our Theatre Camp performers took the stage with “Sheldon Holmes: It’s All Elementary”—and wow, did they shine! 🎭

These talented young actors learned their lines and stage cues in just over a week and delivered an incredible performance for friends and family. We’re so proud of their hard work and confidence!

Students in Ms. Pena's Child Development Class were out and about during class. Their focus was on the importance of exercise during pregnancy. On the first day, they took a tour around school without our backpacks. On the second day, they took a tour with their backpacks on the front of their bodies to simulate the weight of being pregnant.
Students realized a difference with the weight distribution. As a group, they were motivated to explore the importance of maintaining a healthy exercise routine during pregnancy.
