About Milestone Mondays
As we continue distance-learning, we have created "Milestone Mondays," a virtual recognition series honoring our students for their achievements in academics, the arts, athletics, leadership, and service. Modeled after events traditionally planned for the end of the school year, Milestone Monday celebrations will take place on the next seven Mondays at 7:00 p.m., or until we return to campus and in-person operations.
How to Connect
All families are invited to "log on and tune in" to celebrate and support our remarkable students and will be emailed each Monday just prior to 7:00 p.m. Folks can click on the link to watch immediately or use the link to watch a time that is more convenient. Links will also be stored on this page for easy access and sharing.
