Congratulations to our 2026 Girls on the Run participants! For 10 weeks these girls learned to build confidence, manage emotions, resolve conflicts, and develop healthy habits and we are so proud of them. 👏🏻 It’s about SO much more than running! The season ended with a celebratory (rainy) 5k in Morgantown where all the girls and their run buddies did amazing. Thank you to Mrs. Knotts for hosting the team and to our coaches for sharing your time.

Reminder

Don't miss out on a yearbook!

Our preschool students had an exciting adventure today during Kindergarten Bump-Up Day! They explored their future classrooms, met new teachers, and got a little glimpse into all the fun and learning that awaits them next year. We are so proud of how brave, curious, and excited they were as they took this big step toward kindergarten! 🎒🍎✨
