I wanted to thank everyone who attended Parent's night last night at the Ship! We are blessed to have such a high degree of parent involvement at our school. It was a special night for our senior players, stats, and cheerleaders. You all have set a high bar for our younger students. I am looking forward to finishing the year on a high note. Remember, a school is not the building. It's the people inside the building! Really enjoy being part of this Pirate Family. Hooks Up!
Congratulations to all the girls as they brought home a third place finish in a tough region 3 tournament! Super proud of how the girls competed and we can’t wait to see what next week will bring! Top 4 qualify for state.

The elementary students enjoyed the "Winter Olympics " in the gym yesterday. A good way to burn off some energy inside!
