The Upper School Community Service Council is hosting a book and school supply drive during homecoming week for local elementary schools. Students can donate three books or school supplies for one service hour; students can earn a maximum of three service hours for donating to the drive. Students can also earn up to three hours by creating and decorating teacher appreciation cards instead of purchasing items.
Join us for this year's annual Community Picnic and Homecoming Celebration on Friday, October 24, from 5:30 - 6:45 p.m. The evening celebration will be full of family fun and food from SAGE. The celebration will end with our Eagle Walk Parade, celebrating the Varsity Football and Cheer teams. We can't wait to see you there!All School Information

Pondering Purpose and Impact
Our eighth graders are exploring the Engineering, Architecture, and Real Estate Network during their FLEX period by using the engineering design process to design and prototype roller coasters using cardstock and tape.
Pause and Ponder: Building with Purpose
- For younger children: What do you like to build with LEGOs, blocks, Magna-Tiles, or other supplies? What sparks your imagination as you decide what to build?
- For older children, teenagers, and adults: If you could create a new invention or innovate an existing product, what would you create and why? Think about what your answer tells you about your interests and passions. How can you find ways to explore these creative ideas?
