On Tuesday, September 3rd, we had our first pep rally of the year! Our cheerleaders did a fantastic job cheering at getting our students pumped up.
We recognized our Volleyball team, our Teachers of the Year, and our students who earned a PERFECT score on the 2024 LEAP test! The school spirit was loud and proud!
Our Volleyball team continues to work hard each week. We are proud of their progress and work ethic!
This week students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade were invited to try out for the basketball team. Rosters will be announced at the end of the week. We are looking forward to a great basketball season for our Bullpups.
On Wednesday, September 11th we held our annual Patriot Day Program honoring our local first responders and remembering those who lost their lives in service during the horrific terrorist attacks. We are thankful for the wonderful turnout of parents, special guests, and first responders. We are also grateful to Judge Jeff Robinson for serving as our guest speaker who encouraged us to learn from the example set by our first responders who show great love for their brother in their daily service. We are thankful to Mr. Rivera, our school counselor, for his leadership in making this event happen each year. Our students and teachers also play a role in the event from welcoming guests on the sidewalk, making appreciation posters, singing in the school choir, or speaking in the program. We look forward to this event each year and strive to teach our Bullpups the importance of this day and to never forget.
