✨ It’s the little things that make a big difference! ✨🦈

Our front office just got an incredible upgrade, and we couldn’t be more excited about the fresh new look. A huge shout-out to the Amsalem family for their generosity and assisting in the creativity in making our front office desk shine!

The connection between community and school is what makes a middle school thrive—and this is a perfect example of that partnership in action.

Thank you for helping us create a welcoming space for students, families, and staff! 💙
