Good Morning Cavalier Families,
Thank you to all who joined us for the Leader in Me Family Game Night! It was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the growth of our student leaders, who took charge in running each station for our families to enjoy. Their leadership, teamwork, and dedication truly shined throughout the evening!
We also appreciate your support during Random Acts of Kindness Week. It was heartwarming to see our students spreading kindness in big and small ways, making a positive impact on our school community. Let’s continue to encourage kindness as a daily choice for our Cavaliers, fostering a culture of respect, empathy, and leadership every day!
