Dear Knight Families,
We value your voice and partnership in helping our school grow. As part of our commitment to Leader in Me, a district-wide initiative, we are asking all families to complete a brief survey. Your feedback will provide important insights into our school's strengths and areas of growth. The information collected will help us better support our students, strengthen leadership opportunities, and continue building a positive school culture.

This survey is quick to complete and your responses will remain anonymous. Please take a few minutes to access the link here and complete the survey. The deadline for this survey is April 29th.

Thank you for your time and continued partnership in your student's education.

Congratulations to our Art Show winners!

Every school year presents unique challenges when it comes to creating and encouraging students to find their personal voice and confidence to share it. Every year I am delighted to see how they meet the challenge with courage and determination. I am always proud of how original and thoughtful my students are when creating their artwork. Their talent is their own, I can only help them hone their skills. This year was another example of excellence in art. ~ Mrs. Russell

A large ensemble of student performers on a theater stage during a musical production. In the foreground, a young man stands on a wooden stepstool, holding a silver mug high in a toast. Below him and spread across the stage, approximately twenty other cast members in rustic, eclectic costumes—including vests, trousers, and a green dress—also raise silver mugs toward him. The set features a wooden balcony structure and dim, warm overhead stage lighting that creates a dramatic atmosphere.
