Double the kindness, double the fun! 💙
Our staff showed their spirit during Kindness Week by dressing up for Twin Day—because spreading kindness is even better when you do it together! From matching outfits to big smiles, this was a great reminder that small acts of kindness make a big difference.

Today, we celebrated Day 100 of school by going way back in time! Staff (and students!) dressed like 100-year-olds to mark the occasion—canes, gray hair, and all—while still keeping it comfy with jeans. It was a fun way to celebrate 100 days of learning, laughter, and memories.
