CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR POWER OF THE PEN CHAMPIONS!
Last weekend our 7th and 8th grade team headed to the Power of the Pen tournament at Fairview High School with moderators Mr. Clark and Mrs. Ferian. The 8th grade team took first place! Students Vivian E. came in first and Anna S. placed sixth! The entire team has been working hard this year to prepare for tournaments like these. Many thanks to their moderators and their parents and families for their time and support.
PRIORITY ENROLLMENT FOR 2024-2025 IS OPEN!
