Last week we hosted 19 students who have been sponsored by the Pfrang Association. Through your generosity, these 19 students graduated high school last June and will now begin their university studies. We would like to thank the many students, teachers and the host families for their continual support in giving underprivileged students a chance at an education and a brighter future.

Middle Schoolers in the Corridors!

Are you in Grades 6 – 10?

If the answer is yes then…. are you allowed in the Middle School corridor during break and lunch?

The answer is no! Students in Grade 6-10 cannot be in the upstairs corridors at lunchtime. Wait for the bell to go to your lockers or your classrooms. You have been warned 🙂
