Parents Corner

You're Invited! It's Quizo Trivia Night Adult Social Jan 25th
This year, the PA is hosting a Quizo Trivia Night, and it’s shaping up to be a fantastic evening for our school community. This is a free, adults-only event- a great chance to unwind, connect with other parents, and enjoy some laughs together. Even if trivia isn’t your thing, don’t let that hold you back! There will be plenty of opportunities to mingle and enjoy some adult time.
We’re also exploring the possibility of offering a kids’ activity night to help families who might otherwise miss out. If this would make it easier for you to attend, please reply and let me know—it’s important to us that everyone has the chance to come.
Let’s come together, share stories, and make some memories
Date: Saturday, January 25th
Time: 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM
Location: Hill Top Mansion
RSVP HERE
Happy Birthday to Kaia L, 12/30!
