Lower School Families, 

We’ve had a wonderful week in the Lower School! 

  • Our theme this week was listening. Click here to see Mrs. Lofland’s Toolbox Tuesday lesson about SLANT.
  • In the QUEST Center, Early Childhood students investigated floating and sinking by testing how many pieces of “gold” it takes to sink a cauldron. PreK-3 students created habitats from various materials for the animals that they have been studying. 2nd graders hosted their annual International Fair by participating in various activity booths from a wide variety of countries and cultures. 5th graders learned about the eye and light from a guest speaker.
  • 5th graders visited the Louisiana School for the Visually Impaired.
  • All students safely practiced an emergency preparedness Intruder Drill.

  • 3/13 Quarter 3 Progress Reports - These will be emailed to parents today.
  • 3/16 Parent-Teacher Conference Day - Childcare for current Lower School students will be available from 7:30-12:00 in the Greer Center.
  • 3/17 St. Patrick’s Day - Students are invited to wear a touch of green today - green socks, green tie, green bow, etc. 
  • 3/18 Class Picture Day - There’s something special about capturing this moment in the school year—students growing, friendships forming, and memories being made. Class photos are a snapshot of the joy, learning, and community that fill our classrooms each day. Please remember to send your child to school ready to smile and shine! We can’t wait to capture this moment together.

Festivities kick off at 3:30 PM with our Varsity Knights on the tennis courts, followed by softball at 5:00 PM and baseball at 6:00 PM. Bring your family, wear your blue and gold, and help us pack the stands, cheer loudly, and show your Knight pride! Don’t just watch—be part of the excitement! This is one night you’ll remember!
