 
Today our 7th Graders participated in Walk for Water 2018, carrying gallons of water from Rocky Nook Park to campus as part of our school awareness campaign surrounding the need for and value of clean water.
Our 9th graders went to Franklin Elementary School to read fairy tales in Spanish to first graders, part of our ongoing collaboration with the students at Franklin!
Thank you so much to everyone for supporting and participating in our highly anticipated 8th grade retreat. It was a transformational and memorable experience for our group of students. Special thanks to Richard Wilke for dreaming and inspiring us all on the mural project!
