Construction Updates
In the last month, we've witnessed remarkable progress, with significant changes taking place. Electricity has been successfully integrated into the building, and notable developments include the installation of drywall and windows. Most recently, our structure is now adorned with the addition of brick and stone, transforming the physical space into an even more impressive and promising environment.
Core Virtues Highlights
In the preceding month, we recognized students embodying our Core Virtues by choosing one exceptional student from each classroom who exemplifies the virtue most frequently.
This past month, our focus shifted to the virtue of courage. Courage means doing what is right despite fear, moving beyond those fears, and finding the strength to persevere. We will celebrate our next core virtue of the month students for every classroom in the next two weeks!
