RESCHEDULED TO MAY 2nd (RAIN DATE)!
Join us on Friday, April 25th at Seven Hills Swim & Tennis for an unforgettable day of play. The courts will be buzzing with friendly competition, engaging drills, and plenty of opportunities to sharpen your skills while having fun. With expert-led sessions and match play, it’s the perfect chance to challenge yourself, meet fellow tennis enthusiasts, and enjoy the sport in a relaxed and welcoming setting.
Are you a rising pre-k or k family and want to tour the new building? Sign up here for a 15-minute tour slot from 1-2 pm.
*Rising Pre-K and K families only please!*
Help spread to word to any families with incoming Kindergartners!
Our annual Field Day & Cinco De Mayo Celebration is just around the corner, and we need YOUR help to make it an unforgettable day for our kids!
This year, we’ve made volunteering even easier with shorter time slots, so you can lend a hand and still enjoy the fun with your kiddo during their grade’s events.
K-2: 9:30-11:00
3-5: 11:00-12:30
Field Day wouldn’t be possible without our amazing parent volunteers!
Whether you can help for a little or a lot, every bit makes a huge difference. Sign up today and be part of the excitement!
Thank you for being such a wonderful part of our school community—we appreciate you!
Help us celebrate the end of the school year and the end of an era as we say goodbye to our current building and help Percy move to his new building! While the new building won’t be open to attendees except Percy on this day, we have so many fun things planned, including our 2nd Annual Tiger Dash (Down Memory Lane)! Can you volunteer to help out?
