Wow - what a way to head into Spring Break!! Today we held our annual Staff vs. Students basketball game - the students worked SO hard this season and it certainly showed today! 🏀 A HUGE thank you to our beloved Mr. J and all other staff involved in organizing and coaching. We couldn't do this without you!

A shoutout as well to our amazing custodian, Hasan, who always goes above and beyond - he ensured lots of our kiddos went home today with their lost and found treasures 😉

We wish all of our families a wonderful Spring Break. We look forward to seeing their smiles back again March 30th !

Don't forget to order from our Purdy's Easter Chocolates and Growing Smiles fundraisers over the break 🐰 🍫 🍃🏵️
