Congratulations to members of the cast of our school play.  You have put in such a great effort!  Shout outs go to Charlie and Tlaloc for their consistent effort, passion, and creativity.

Another set of congratulations goes out to Jahmarian and Miriam for their enthusiastic participation in yesterday's South Conference Track and Field Championships.

Final words and images:

Rhys is my 9-year-old son.
