Assemblies
Hero
Frequently named as a favorite tradition among community members, our weekly Friday All-School Assemblies provide a time for the whole school to come together in celebration of learning.
Students are able to share about a special project or unit of study, showcase their musical or artistic talents, enjoy an interactive experience with a guest visitor, and provide highlights about after school activities and athletics. It is an excellent way for students to practice their public speaking skills for a large audience as well as for audience members to practice their audience etiquette skills.
Recent Friday Assemblies have included:

During our Annual Cook Book Awards, students read a wide range of books in Library enrichment, passionately vote on which ones they believe should receive awards in a variety of categories, and excitedly celebrate the winners during an electrifying assembly that has the whole school cheering for books. To end the assembly, authors and illustrators of the nominated books often send personalized messages and videos thanking our students for their award.
