Check out our Cavalier feature for this week:

 

 

Our youngest Cavaliers celebrated like royalty at their Royal Ball & Parade after learning all about kings and queens! From crowns to royal waves, our kindergarteners ruled the day with style!

 

Our 5th graders had an exciting day of hands-on learning at Science City! These young scientists embraced curiosity and discovery. 

 


 

Our Cavaliers brought the red and gold spirit all week long as we cheered on the Kansas City Chiefs in anticipation of a Super Bowl 3-peat victory! We can’t wait to see them take the field and make history! Let’s go, Chiefs Kingdom—bring home another championship! 

#ThreePeatIncoming #ChiefsKingdom
