What a weekend in Berk! Three incredible performances of How to Train Your Dragon JR., and what an unforgettable adventure it has been! We could not be more proud of our amazing cast and crew for bringing this adventure to life! From the first rehearsal to the final curtain call, these talented Faith Warriors poured their hearts into every song, scene, and behind-the-scenes moment. Their hard work, dedication, and creativity truly shined on stage! A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to cheer on our students and support our performing arts program. You helped make this adventure one we won’t soon forget!

There is something so meaningful about seeing our campus filled with grandparents and grandfriends, sharing in the joy of being part of their grandchildren’s lives. The love, wisdom, encouragement, and prayers they pour into our students leave a lasting impact, and today was a beautiful reminder of just how blessed we are by them! From a packed photo booth and a booming book fair to sweet moments in classrooms, incredible student performances, and smiles around every corner, our hearts are so full after another wonderful Grandparents Day! A special thank you to Pastor Glenn from Countryside Christian Church for sharing such a meaningful message with our grandparents and grandfriends during chapel. What a beautiful way to begin our morning together! To every grandparent and grandfriend who joined us today, thank you for the love you give, the memories you make, and the important role you play in the lives of our Faith Warriors. We are so grateful for you, and we hope today made you feel just as loved and celebrated as you make our students feel every day! ❤️
