Happy Staff Appreciation Week! We’re so grateful for everything you do to support, inspire, and make a difference in the lives of our students and each other every day. 💙

Our 8th graders had an exciting field trip to Camp Bernie!

To celebrate Earth Day, Mrs. Connor's 5th grade students planted marigold seeds and learned about the importance of caring for our planet. The class discussed   how plants help keep the Earth healthy by cleaning the air, providing beauty, and helping pollinators like bees and butterflies. This hands-on activity was a fun and meaningful way to celebrate Earth Day while learning about nature and growth.

Earth Day Clean Up
A few of our 8th graders joined Mayor Andre Sayegh for a downtown community clean-up, giving back and helping keep our city beautiful. 🌎💙

Our basketball team and coaches were invited yesterday to a luncheon hosted by Dr. Scano. We are incredibly proud of these boys - this is their first season playing together, and through teamwork and dedication they earned an impressive 2nd place finish in the NIT Championship.

To our 8th graders, we wish you the best of luck in all that’s ahead. Once a Marlin, always a Marlin 💙
