Field Trip

On January 14th, the entire middle school will attend the Jewish Film Festival to watch Boy on the Run and hear Holocaust survivor Paul Galan speak afterward. We plan to load the buses at approximately 8:15 a.m. and depart around 8:30 a.m.

We anticipate returning to school toward the end of the middle school lunch period (around 11:45–12:00 p.m.). Students will have a brown bag lunch at school and may miss approximately 15 minutes of 5th hour.

The start of a new year is always an exciting time, filled with opportunities to learn, grow, and build meaningful connections. We’re looking forward to all that 2025 will bring—whether it’s celebrating your students’ achievements, sharing memorable experiences, or working together to overcome challenges.

Thank you for entrusting us with the privilege of helping your children thrive. Here’s to a wonderful year ahead for all of us!
