Great America St. Jude's Math Trip and Senior Honors Night












































Sorry this took a couple extra days, but this is a very busy time of year. Graduation is just around the corner (this Friday) and we are busy checking credits, making sure of the details and generally preparing for the class of 2008's big day. At the same time we had Senior Honors Night, the Undergraduate Awards Assembly, a meeting for Junior Parent's about next year's graduation, and the list goes on. Still, as busy as this time of year is, it is also bittersweet. Even as we have orientation for our incoming 6th graders, we are preparing to send a new group of graduates out into the world. We wish them well and congratulate them. They have worked hard and they have earned their diploma's. Their parents, grandparents, guardians and families have much to be proud of and all I can add is how happy I am to be able to wish them the very best.
