Principal's Message YAYA participants Most of our 3rd through 5th grade students attended the Young Authors Young Artists conference on Thursday. I was able to stop by for about 15 minutes and enjoyed getting to hear about the sessions that our students had attended in the morning. All of them appreciated being able to explore creative ways to learn about new things or finding new mediums to express themselves, and I was very proud of how our students represented our school at the conference. While we still have two weeks left of this school year, we all have one eye toward the new school year in the fall! For families whose students are returning next year, you should have received an email to register for Blackbaud, which will be our new all-encompassing online platform. Please register and review your tuition contract for next year; if you have any questions, please let me know. May God be with you Always
