Additional activities and opportunities…
Seventh and Eighth-Grade Fall Harvest Dance
Each fall, our seventh and eighth-grade have a spooktacular, fun-filled dance with a Halloween focus. Although a costume is not required, many of our students choose to dress up as they dance the night away in our own cafeteria. Our PTA does a fantastic job decorating our school and transforming it into a festive and frightful wonderland.
Eighth Grade Dance
This is the culminating event for our 8th-graders as they prepare to head off to high school. Students enjoy a beautiful dance in June, and celebrate with friends. Photos are taken, music is enjoyed, and the PTA does an incredible job with a surprise theme, down to the last detail. Parents are always welcome to take photographs of students and capture this special evening.
Cabaret

Foreign Language Week
A new and exciting event for seventh and eighth-graders, Foreign Language Week highlights how lucky we are to know and interact with various cultures.

At a culminating food-tasting, our local restaurants and parents prepare foods from around the world that our students are able to taste and enjoy during their foreign language periods. We create a festive atmosphere in the board room, complete with music, table settings and decorations. We certainly couldn’t pull this one off without the help of our dedicated parents and PTA.

Students enjoy the opening Pep Rally which welcomes everyone back to school and sets the tone for a positive and productive year! Positive behavior is continually reinforced through the use of our ROAR Ticket Rewards System and students are always eager to hear if they are one of the weekly or monthly winners!
May We Honor You Veterans Breakfast
