It’s hard to believe, but we’ve entered the final full month of the school year. While the finish line is in sight, there is still plenty of learning and excitement ahead. This week marks the beginning of ATLAS Testing for students in grades 3–11 on Tuesday and Thursday, along with the Spring Band Concert on Thursday evening. The week will wrap up with the final Trojans Love Reading event of the year on Friday, May 8 at 1:30 pm.
🖤💛Go Trojans!
