We look forward to our Talent Show tryouts from 2:00 - 3:15 PM in the gym. 

Monday, November 20 - Friendsgiving Luncheon
We're excited to invite all families to join us for our inaugural Friendsgiving Luncheon, taking place during your child's regular lunch period. A big shoutout to our room parents for spearheading this special occasion, and immense gratitude to House Taji for transforming the gym and cafeteria and coordinating all the generous food donations.

If you prefer that your child does not partake in the food provided for Friendsgiving, kindly inform your child’s teacher. Students will still have access to the regular lunch line.

To ensure a harmonious and enjoyable experience for everyone attending, we kindly ask parents to note the following:

  • Cell phone usage at the lunch table is not permitted for watching videos, TikTok, or engaging in any social media activities.

  • While capturing moments of your child and their classmates is welcome, please refrain from posting these pictures on personal social media platforms.

  • Parents with younger siblings are kindly requested to step outside the gym or cafeteria if managing them becomes challenging. Your cooperation ensures a pleasant experience for all families attending.

  • As a precautionary measure due to various nut allergies among our students, we strongly discourage bringing any peanut products to this event. Your understanding and cooperation in this matter are sincerely appreciated.

Thank you for your attention to these reminders, and we look forward to a delightful Friendsgiving celebration together.
