Honor & Awards--Thursday, May 18th
Honor & Awards Ceremony will take place on Thursday, May 18 in the LA Auditorium. At the end of another successful school year, we want to take an evening to reflect on the past year and to honor that which is worthy of honor. "Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things" (Philippians 4:8).
As well as academic success, Honor & Awards Ceremony will include our Kindergarten graduation and will celebrate character, effort and diligence, athletic achievement, and hard work, and will culminate with the presentation of the Legacy Honor Award.
All students are required to attend. Students should wear their formal uniforms.
Family, friends, and members of the public are welcome!
Commencement--Thursday, May 25
Commencement 2023 is happening on Thursday, May 25. We ask that the entire school body, families, and friends celebrate with our graduates by attending Commencement.

Water Day
Water Day was a wonderful day on Friday for the whole school to play hard together! We have worked hard all year, and we loved celebrating together all day.
Track Season is Over
Track and Field season 2023 ended on May 5th, with our State Meet. It was held in Siloam Springs, AR.
Dr. Lofton and Mrs. Webb would like to thank the parents for allowing their students to participate and the students for putting forth the effort. The verse we used to encourage and push the athletes this season was Colossians 3:23-24 AMP " Whatever you do [whatever your task may be], work from the soul [that is, put in your very best effort], as [something done] for the Lord and not for men, (24) knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [greatest] reward. It is the Lord Christ whom you [actually] serve."
It is our hope and prayer that they will take this verse and apply this in all areas of their lives.
