ONCE A TROJAN, ALWAYS A TROJAN 💛🖤

Our school community is truly thankful for the steadfast support of our alumni and their parents, as demonstrated in their sponsorship of the monthly Coffee Cafe for staff. This popular event enables staff to reconnect with former students and displays the heart of our work: fostering meaningful relationships that last a life time!

Thank you to Ms. Leathers, a first-grade teacher Main Street Visual and Performing Arts Magnet School, for sharing photos of their trip to the crystal mine. Ms. Leathers received a $300 grant that helped pay for admission, bags from Ron Coleman, and digging tools. It looks like the students had a blast!!
