Monthly Newsletter for March 2025
A Message From Your Administrators
Hello Wildcat Families!
What beautiful weather!
As it tends to be, winter was full of fun and exciting events. We were able to enjoy performances and competitions involving clubs, athletics, academics, and music! These events brought us together (indoors!) on cold evenings, and gave us something to celebrate.
We now look forward to the upcoming spring season, as well as the arrival of spring weather. We’ll have new sports to enjoy spectating, as well as two art shows on the horizon, multiple club performances and events, and innovative musical performances!
We want to send a direct and genuine note of gratitude to all families and community members who helped support the passage of the levy. Our students are so fortunate to have so many opportunities to demonstrate their talents, interests, and passions– and we are all so lucky to experience the gifts they possess. We are proud of these young adults who will carry those lessons out into the “real world” when they graduate. Thank you all for your belief in our students’ futures and for allowing us to share in their growth and success!
Have a fantastic month of March!
