Get ready to show your school spirit during our Homecoming week! Each day, we’ll have a fun dress-up theme, and you can earn +5 house points for participating daily. Don’t miss out on the chance to boost your house and show off your creativity! Let’s make this Homecoming the best one yet by participating, having fun, and earning those house points!
International Dot Day is a day to celebrate creativity, courage, and collaboration, and is celebrated on or around September 15th. The day is inspired by the children's book The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds, which is about a young girl who learns to believe in her own abilities and to make her mark.
We’re excited to celebrate Dot Day on Thursday, September 12th with our amazing students! The kids have been reading "The Dot" in the library and will continue to use their creativity. Students may wear polka dots on this day if they choose to redeem 5 house points.
