● K-3: 5th Avenue autoline is open until 7:30am. If you are dropping your Lancer after this time, please use the Administration Building drop off area. Please be patient as our younger students need a little extra time exiting their vehicle.

PRESCHOOL
100 Days Smarter!
Our Preschool students had an absolute blast celebrating the 100th day of school! It’s hard to believe that 100 wonderful days of learning have already flown by. That’s 100 days of fun, 100 days of discovery, and 100 days of learning through work and play.
The day was filled with smiles, creativity, and hands-on excitement as the girls proudly created their bright 100 Days crowns and jumped right into the celebration. From counting and building to creating and sharing, every moment showed just how much they’ve learned along the way.
“We counted and played,
We learned every day—
100 days smarter,
Hip hip hooray!”
This joyful milestone highlighted our Preschool girls’ curiosity, confidence, and growing independence. We are so proud of them and can’t wait to see all the discoveries, growth, and happy moments still ahead.
Here’s to being 100 days smarter—and to many more amazing days of learning to come!
Second Graders Roll Their Way to 100!
Rolling our way to the 100th Day of School! Students predicted outcomes, kept careful tally marks, and used calculators to crunch the numbers. A challenging activity that turned into a morning full of excitement and learning!
LOWER SCHOOL MASS
Our second graders hosted Mass with beautiful songs, eloquent speaking, and thoughtful prayer. Through their preparation, students practiced reading fluency, public speaking, and confidence—all while leading our community in worship. Fr. Jeremy reminded us that we are all chosen by God and that He has a great plan for our lives; we simply need to believe and trust in Him.
Our next mass is hosted by Grade 1 on Friday, 2/20/26 at 8am.
Lower School Library: A Warm Thank You to Author Kealani Netane
On January 20, 2026, the talented Kealani Netane, author of the delightful book "Tala Learns to Siva" shared her book with our girls. It was a fantastic hit, and everyone had such a great time! The students discovered so much about the author’s journey, what inspired her to start writing, and the creative process behind her work. We also got to explore the beautiful illustrations, which were like hidden gems! The students had a great chance to learn to Siva!
What made this experience even more special was that the preschool and kindergarten kids got to dive deep into Tala's emotions throughout the story. Many of them really connected with how Tala felt while learning to Siva, and it was heartwarming to see their reactions. The girls had an absolute blast!
