We officially welcomed 7th graders to our building today. It was an afternoon full of information, pizza, games, tours, Q&A panel from StuCo and meeting their teachers. It was a great start to the 26-27 school year. Can't wait to see the Class of 2032 grow and be awesome!
A huge thank you to our StuCo team for leading tours and their insight during the Q&A panel: Emmagin, Claire, Haygan, Dawson, Hailey, and Kade!
