Our school is incredibly proud of our new girls’ wrestling team and the hard work, dedication, and trailblazing spirit they bring to the mat!



There will be Indoor Field Hockey Open Gyms for girls in Grades 5–8 in the Elementary Gym on Thursdays from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. Sessions will run from January 22 through February 26. Parent permission forms will be available for pickup and completion when you bring your child to their first open gym. Please see the flyer for more details.
***Girls will need shin guards, sneakers, mouth guard, and a stick if they have one.*** 🏑

Congratulations to Senior Brayden Andrews on reaching a major milestone Saturday by earning his 100th career wrestling win at the PHAC Tournament. This accomplishment reflects his hard work, dedication, and consistency throughout his high school career. Reaching 100 wins is a significant achievement in wrestling and showcases the effort he has put in during practices, matches, and the offseason.

I want to let you know that a new bus form has been added to the Document Center in Sapphire. I am asking that each family complete this form for every child by Sunday, January 11th.
Due to a shortage of bus drivers and buses operating below capacity, we are working to streamline the process to ensure students can get to and from school safely and on time.
I also want to thank all of our families for their patience and support during this difficult time with busing challenges. Your cooperation means so much as we work through these issues.
Please take a few moments to fill out the form as soon as possible. Thank you again for your understanding and support.
Congratulations to our FBLA students!
