Many thanks for your parental support in reminding the boys of their green attire and for your good humor as your boys arrived home with green hair :) Check out the boys enjoying their new "Think Green" spirit sign and our green and white cupcakes!

Spirit Week

The ninth age classes are being celebrated this week as it is our spirit week! The week culminates with the boys and girls wearing their class colors on Friday (green and white are displayed in 9-1's banner!). Below are pictures from our handprint banner spirit project.

"Shipwrecked"

The boys are busy at work on their newest composition, "Shipwrecked". I thought I would share some interesting facts I have gleaned upon reading their stories. I can not wait for the boys to share their compositions aloud!
Enjoy!
