Get ready, get set, go……it’s time to spin the wheel and finally find out WHICH HOUSE WILL CHOOSE YOU? We are so excited to launch our house system on Wednesday, August 27. Our students do NOT want to miss school on Wednesday. We want EVERY student to participate and be a part of all the fun that is planned for Wednesday. We will be kicking off our 4 different Houses, 1 Family assembly. We have a BIG surprise and fun planned to reveal “Which House Will CHOOSE YOU?” Will your child be in Amistad (friendship), Reveur (dreamers), Altruismo (the givers), or Isibindi (courage)? We can't wait to find out which house each child will belong to on Wednesday!
