Hello Dragon Families,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This past week we celebrated NHS inductions, a meaningful evening for our students and families. We were fortunate to hear from Jasmine Snead of Housing Families First, who spoke powerfully about her own journey with housing insecurity and the importance of safe, stable homes. Her words were a reminder of the impact of courage, compassion, and connection in our daily lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, our administration team had the opportunity to visit one of Micheal Sparks\u2019 Underground Kitchen Community First sites, where we saw firsthand how his organization is using food as a way to bring healing, opportunity, and unity to the Richmond region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we continue to grow and learn together, our classrooms remain alive with energy, questions, and ideas. Beyond academics, our Dragons are making their mark in the arts and athletics, from regional golf playoffs to tonight\u2019s choir and band concert (10\/3) and next week\u2019s orchestra concert (10\/7). Senior picture retakes will also take place on Wednesday (10\/8).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will end the week with the Fall Festival, rescheduled to its rain date (10\/10), and we are all excited to showcase the talents of our students, connect with families, and come together with our PTSA for one of their major fundraising events. It will be a beautiful day and I hope to see so many people there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, thank you to everyone who assisted with refining our mission and vision. Only small adjustments will be needed, showing how solid and enduring our foundation truly is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

GO DRAGONS!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warmly,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kristin Janssen<\/p>\n\n\n\n
