TReK
During the first weekend of school, students embarked on various team-building excursions as part of the TReK program (Truth, Respect, and Kindness Expeditions/Experiences). The trips welcomed new members of the community, strengthened the bonds of individual classes, and further instilled core values of truth, respect, and kindness. Students enjoyed participating in archery, camping, canoeing, swimming, zip-lining, and more. Click here for photos.
