What's in Store?

Drop by the School Store during back-to-school events to check out the renovated space and stylish offerings such as a ladies' Under Armour polo in royal, gray, heathered, and white/royal striped. New items include a mid-price Champion sweatshirt with appliqued letters, dance tights, and shorts to wear under girls' skirts. Especially cool is the new Nestle/Haagen-Dazs ice cream freezer that stocks a variety of ice cream snacks available at lunch and after school.

The Auction Returns to Campus This Year
California Dreaming: A Knight on the Golden Coast, will be "coming home" this year. With the opening of our fabulous new Hildebrand Athletic Center, 2018 is the year to host this event on our beautiful campus. "The Dreamy Duo" Auction Chairs Tammy Barringer and Molly Shaffer have their volunteer "dream team" in place and are working hard to plan the perfect retro road trip through California. Mark your calendars for Friday, February 23, 2018, for the special night!

Next month, join us as we commence our journey across the Golden State. You won't want to miss our first stop in beautiful Napa Valley as we hit the road for our vintage California road trip. Our evening Auction kick-off meeting will be held on September 13 at the home of Kirby and Scott McCool, from 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. Everyone is invited, spouses too!  Please RSVP here by September 6.
