Hello Class of 2027 Families, What an incredible start to senior year! The Last First Day celebration and Senior Parent Breakfast were a huge success, filled with joy, connection, and so many memorable moments. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the morning feel truly special. The energy from today set the perfect tone for everything ahead. And we are just getting started! Senior Welcome Week is officially underway, and we cannot wait to keep celebrating our seniors with a full lineup of fun, thoughtful, and meaningful events. Take a look at everything planned below. It is going to be an unforgettable week! We have also launched a new Class of 2027 Photo Drive so parents can upload photos from Senior Class events throughout the year. Parents always capture the best moments, and we would love to share your snapshots with the community. Bookmark the folder and start uploading your favorites! Quick note for our wonderful volunteers during Welcome Week: Even though our events this week take place outside, they are still considered on campus. Please remember to sign in (and sign out!) at the Voly kiosk located at the front desk so your volunteer hours are recorded accurately. If you have multiple shifts and leave campus in between, you will have to check in and out each time. (Please also make sure you have renewed your Voly application for this school year. Thank you!) Thank you for your continued support. This year is already off to an extraordinary start, and we are building something truly special together. |
