Patriot Day – Wednesday, September 11th
Our annual Patriot Day is this Wednesday, September 11th. If you would like to host a station, please email Elisha Ferraro. If you are a first responder joining for lunch, please RSVP using this form. If you are not a first responder but would like to show your appreciation, there are a few ways to get involved. Please click here to volunteer.
**Reminder: Our school parking lot and the gravel lot next door will be closed on Wednesday, September 11th, to accommodate the first responder vehicles and their spouses. We are asking all parents to drop their kiddos off in Driveline instead of parking and walking them in. If you are volunteering for the event, we need you to park in the gravel lot across the street at the GYSA Soccer Complex. Shuttles will be running to bring you to and from campus. Pre-K parents can still park in the very front of our lot to walk their kiddos in, but we are asking that all cars be moved off campus by 8:00 am at the very latest to allow for the Fire Trucks to set up their stations. If you are a presenter, first responder, or spouse of a first responder, please feel free to park in the school lot or gravel lot next door.

Christmas Market
CALLING ALL STUDENT ENTREPRENEURS! Is your child interested in participating in this year’s Startup Club and Christmas Market? Applications go LIVE next week, and space is limited!
Startup Club is a fun, faith-based extracurricular program that teaches students how to start their very own business. Over the course of 6 weeks, students will receive one email per week with a short and sweet video lesson, and corresponding assignment. Lessons and assignments are designed to break down everything they need to do to launch their business in small, manageable steps—and it all culminates with a one day Market where they will launch their very own business—and earn a profit!
Students in grades 3-8 are invited to participate, and may team up with a friend or run their business solo. With the exception of one in-person gathering, and Market Day on Dec. 7th, this Club is largely virtual by design—making it easy for students to participate in other extracurricular activities simultaneously.
Not sure what it’s all about? Check out this video to learn more! APPLICATIONS GO LIVE NEXT WEEK!
