April went by in a flash and May looks to be going the same way! More importantly, I hope you enjoyed Star Wars day yesterday. You can see below that my family was out enjoying the day with our friends, the Nelson’s, who also love getting into the spirit of the day!

I have some important updates and reminders for you as we head into the latter part of the school year. Please take note of the following:

Spring Sing Attire – May 16th: Spring Sing is just around the corner on May 16th at 1:30 pm. For this special event, we kindly ask that students wear jeans, shorts, or dresses (please ensure dresses are mindful of length, especially if singing from a microphone). T-shirts should be brightly colored in spring tones, think of the colors of flowers. Solid colors are preferred, with no large logos. Boys are welcome to wear suits if they wish. Please avoid tracksuits or sweatshirts.

Star Wars Day – Tomorrow: Tomorrow is Star Wars Day! Students are encouraged to dress as their favorite superhero (real or made-up) or Star Wars character. Those who prefer not to dress up can wear their uniforms. Please remember, no fake weapons are allowed.

Bible Memory Verse – Psalm 95:5: This week’s Bible Memory Verse is Psalm 95:5. This verse reminds us of God’s greatness and the wonders of His creation. It teaches us to approach God with reverence and awe, recognizing His power and majesty.

Track Meet Recap: Our recent track meet was a tremendous success! We want to thank all the students who represented Highroad Academy so well. It was a fantastic day, and we are grateful for the beautiful weather (though some of us are nursing a bit of sunburn!).

Upcoming Events:

• May 17th – PD Day: Please note that May 17th is a Professional Development (PD) Day, and there will be no classes for students.
• May 27th – Art Gala: Our annual Art Gala will take place on May 27th. More details will be provided closer to the date.
• June 19th – Grades 4-6 Cultus Lake Waterslides: We’re excited to announce a fun day at Cultus Lake Waterslides for Grades 4-6 on June 19th. Permission forms will be sent home soon.
• June 20th – Last Day of School & Half Day: The last day of school is June 20th, and it will be a half day for students. More details about end-of-year activities will be shared as we get closer to the date.

Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our school community.
