Our fourth-grade students recently enjoyed an unforgettable adventure to St. Augustine, the nation’s oldest city. This annual trip provided a unique opportunity to step back in time and experience the rich history they’ve studied in Social Studies throughout the year. During the trip, students explored the historic Castillo de San Marcos, visited a Spanish Mission, climbed the iconic St. Augustine Lighthouse, and even discovered the legendary Fountain of Youth. Each stop brought Florida’s history to life, allowing students to connect classroom lessons with real-world experiences. We are so grateful to our teachers, staff, and chaperones who helped make this trip possible. It...

This week, fifteen grades 6-8 students competed in our annual spelling bee. After studying a list of over 400 words, seventh-grade student Sam Harms became our Spelling Bee winner, and eighth-grade student Max Sawisch the runner-up! The competition was intense, with no third-place winner as several contestants were eliminated in the same round. The final showdown between Sam and Max was epic. The championship word, “aesthetic,” secured Sam’s victory. Max gave a strong performance and came close to taking the title during the nail-biting rounds. The journey doesn’t end here! The top 25 spellers from each county who pass the regional qualifier in February will...
