Take a look at what our student “Mower Crew” is up to this summer. It consists of students Adam Ruiz, Landon Gonzales, Will Luster, and James Kimmel-Cave. They spent some time making the Elementary entrance look a little nicer. They planted 25 new plants and used two boulders to give the area some curb appeal. The boys want to thank Haegele Nursery for assisting with the design and giving the school a nice discount!
Get ahead of the crowd. Check out the supplies list for 1st graders at the Primary School for the 2026-2027 School Year.
