Beth's After School Experience (BASE Camp) - ahoy matey! The kids found and followed clues leading them to a treasure map which they used to find the spot where the treasure was buried, uncovering long lost pirate booty! Beth Brock & Sarah Gibson

In the predawn hours, lightning struck nearby, traveled through the phone line into the plumbing and blasted a pipe in the attic, flooding the upstairs and elementary class below. Ms. Debbie happened to come in that morning about 9AM and found the mess. Teachers and parent volunteers came and helped get materials and furniture out. Tons of time and work by parents & teachers over the summer transformed the mess, and through massive repairs and renovations the school became better than ever and opened on time for Fall classes. A huge thank you again to Arkon Group (Hamid Joodi), forgoing all profits and pressing every day to get the job done. Arkon Group was just as generous and worked even harder last summer to perform the initial residential to commercial conversion and addition of the primary classroom. http://www.arkongroup.com

On a cold and rainy day everyone packed into Ms. Natalie's Primary classroom and filled it with holiday cheer. Toddler, Primary, and Elementary students warmed the hearts of all with specially prepared songs and costumes. Thanks to the parents who helped out with the performances, the tradition of "Little Shoes", The Wishing Tree, and more. A special thanks again to Ms. Claire for all her hard work in fund raising by selling Christmas trees.
