And if you haven't already, we invite you to join us for one of our fall Open Houses on Wednesday, Sept. 28, at 9 a.m., Sunday, Nov. 6 at 1 p.m., or Thursday, Dec. 1 at 9 a.m. There, you will have the opportunity to tour the school, experience the energy, see classes in session as well as meet and speak with our teachers, parents and administration.
