What an exciting match at Schulte today! The scoring was incredibly close in all three sets. Red Apple battled hard—dropping the first two sets but coming back strong to win the final one.
We’re proud of the effort, teamwork, and sportsmanship our boys showed on the court. Great job, Red Apple! ❤️🍎💪
Our kindergartners had a hands-on STEAM lesson today where they designed and built their own paintbrushes. Students experimented with creating dots, skinny lines, and fat lines using different materials. It was a good mix of creativity and problem-solving, and they enjoyed seeing how their designs worked in action.
A reminder that the Holiday Shop will take place the first week in December. We need volunteers to sign up to assist shoppers: https://signup.com/go/qKhYfZv
