Last Friday evening, our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students came together for our first-ever Middle School Party. It was a fantastic occasion filled with laughter and joy as students enjoyed each other's company. We extend a massive thank you to the dedicated staff members who volunteered their time as chaperones and to the parent and staff volunteers who assisted with the setup. Special recognition goes to Sally Baker and Kristin Gilvin for their exceptional support, as always.Â
Also over the weekend, three students from Telra, Vishan Alapati, Advai Nalla, and Mihail Zolutuhin, competed in the Chess Kid National Festival and emerged victorious, claiming 1st place in the K-5 (Under 1200) Team category! Congratulations to these talented individuals!
