Middle School Principal’s Letter
Our students truly shined as they represented us as ambassadors and scholars. Here are some of the results from the tournament of champions:

Today we had the opening of the Mesopotamia Museum by the sixth-graders. In the ten years we have done this project we have never seen such incredible artifacts created by students. Congratulations to all the six graders for a job well done.
In Partnership,
