Green & White Dress Down Day

Thank you to all our students and teachers who supported the $1.00 Green & White Dress down Day on St. Patrick’s Day (this past Friday).  Together we raised $342.00 in support of St. Baldrick’s Foundation, which supports pediatric cancer research.  Here are a few pictures of the students captured throughout the day (click pictures to enlarge)!  We also captured the 8th graders leading the school in “The Unicorn Song” – a long-standing tradition – during the annual St. Patrick’s Day assembly.  The video can be seen HERE.
