Prayer Service for Peace

This morning, Friday, February 2nd, we celebrated a Prayer Service in honor of peace for the world. " During this time, silently pray for those who oversee our world, whose job it is to make decisions about war and peace. Pray that God will give them the courage and wisdom to make good decisions; to consciously work for peace, and to encourage everyone to find alternative ways to deal with things." -Mrs. Gomez

Right after the prayer service, Mrs. Gomez gave out birthday pencils and we took pictures of each class of their Homeroom Wars Themes. Here are a few of them:

Mrs. Gomez

Competition Cheer 2023-24

UPDATE 01/07/2024:

Dear Cheer Parents,

       Shamrock is rapidly approaching, and the girls are working very hard to be ready. We have experienced some challenges this year with our practice schedule and injuries. Starting tomorrow Monday, January 8, we are going to extend practice by 30 minutes, so we will be in the gym from 3:30-5:00.  We are hoping that doing this will keep us from having to have extra practices. We understand that this might not be convenient for everyone, but this is, unfortunately, necessary for the girls to be ready to compete. We are going to be flexible as we know this is coming to you with short notice, but PLEASE, if at all possible, we need your cheerleader to be at practice. At this point, it truly impacts the whole team when one person is missing. If this is simply not an option for you, please let us know.

Additionally, there is an opportunity for the cheerleaders to compete in the Scott Cheer Classic on Feb 24  at 1:00 at IHM (Immaculate Heart Of Mary Catholic School-4145 JOHNSON ST HIGH POINT, NC 27265)

Please let us know ASAP if your cheerleader is available on that date and able to come to the competition by clicking HERE and filling out a short Google form.

Thank you so much for your flexibility and your support!

Kelly Spradlin and Elizabeth Tichy

Corporate Sponsorship Opportunities for the 2023-2024 school year

We have new Corporate Sponsorship Opportunities for the 2023-2024 school year. We would love to help promote your business, while you support our school! 

Money raised during the 2022-2023 school year was used for several major and unexpected expenses. We are in the process of replacing our 26-year-old Fire Alarm System at the Main Campus. We also replaced and repaired flooring in several areas of the building. A few rooms also received new paint!

Due to increased enrollment, we purchased 100 new Chromebooks for our students. None of these things would have been possible without the support of our community!
