¡Un Desfile Grandioso! Hispanic Heritage Parade Success!
What a truly wonderful day it was! Our Hispanic Heritage Parade was a spectacular and resounding success—a magnificent sight that filled us with pride.
The parade beautifully brought all different cultures together as one, and our scholars were simply brilliant! Dressed so beautifully in their traditional attire and proudly carrying the flags of different nations, the children learned so much about the rich histories and unique traditions of the Hispanic world. It was a memorable lesson in culture and community!
A huge, heartfelt and enormous THANK YOU to all the parents who came to the parade and who dressed up your children so beautifully! Your dedication and effort made this event a grand success and a testament to the beautiful community we share. We are deeply grateful for your support!
The time is now 3:36pm and all buses and vans have left the school. Students are in route to their stops at this time.
Van 3 was the last van to load so it is a little delayed but it is in route.
Have a great afternoon and we will see you all tomorrow!

Good morning!
We have exciting news regarding our Hispanic Heritage Parade. It will take place on Wednesday, October 15, followed by our culminating celebration on Friday, October 17, during which we will feature performances and food samples.
For our parade, we ask you to join us and celebrate/support our scholars. The parade begins at 9:30 AM sharp. Prior to that, you will position yourself along the street and on the bus loop (blacktop, located to the right of the school) so you can freely watch and cheer for our scholars as they march. Scholars will exit the school and head up Farnham Avenue and then make their way to the right side of the building. There will be signs to guide you on where to stand.
Scholars who have cultural attire or the designated colors for the assigned country are encouraged to wear them on the day of the parade.
Please come out and help make our first annual Hispanic Heritage Parade a success!

Everyone have a great evening and we will see you all on FRIDAY as there is NO SCHOOL tomorrow!
Celebrating One Month of School! 🎉
Today marked a joyful milestone as we celebrated one month since the start of the school year! Our young scholars were honored in a special gathering attended by school and State officials, who joined us to recognize the students' enthusiasm, growth, and commitment to learning.
Each student received a symbolic “return ticket,” promising to come back to school on Friday after enjoying a well-deserved holiday on Thursday. The event was filled with smiles, encouragement, and a shared excitement for the journey ahead.
We’re proud of our scholars and grateful to our staff and families for their continued support. Here's to many more months of learning, laughter, and success!
