🏈💜💛 PIRATE FOOTBALL RECAP! 🏴‍☠️ Our 7th and 8th grade Pirates hit the field and gave it their all! 💪 🏈 7th Grade: It was a tough battle! Although we didn’t come away with the win, our Pirates fought hard and showed determination until the very end. Keep those heads up, boys! 💜 🏈 8th Grade: VICTORY! 🏆🔥 Our 8th graders brought home the WIN with a great team effort! Way to get it done, Pirates! Win or lose, we’re proud of the heart, hustle, and Pirate pride these athletes bring to the field! PIRATES + WARRIORS = SPARTANS! ❤️💛 For years, they’ve battled on opposite sidelines, but now our 8th graders are coming together as ONE TEAM, ONE FAMILY, ONE FUTURE! 💪🏈 Different jerseys, same goal! We can’t wait to see what these future Spartans accomplish together! Once rivals, now teammates! ❤️💛

📚 DID YOU KNOW?
Missing just 2 days of school each month can have a lasting impact.

🚨 By 6th grade, chronic absence (missing 10% of school, or about 2 days each month) is one of three key warning signs that a student may be at risk of dropping out of high school.

Every school day matters. Being present helps students:
📖 Stay on track academically
🤝 Build friendships and a sense of belonging
💜 Feel connected to their teachers and school community
🎯 Develop habits that lead to future success

Let's work together to make every day count!

SUBJECT: Your student is invited – please RSVP

Dear families,

We’re going to Kanab, Grand Canyon, Sedona in Summer 2027, and we’d love for your student to join us!

We’re excited to tell you more about the trip we’re planning with EF Explore America, our educational travel partner. Please be sure to register for this info session to be considered for this opportunity: https://rsvp.efexploreamerica.com/3xan5yf

When students travel, they expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, and grow more confident. These skills are critical for creating the global citizens of tomorrow, and we would love to have your student join us on this adventure.

In this info session, we’ll talk about:
How this experience will benefit your student
What we’ll see and do on our trip
Everything that’s included in this tour
How your child can earn academic credit
How we’re keeping this safe and affordable
How to enroll on this trip (before it fills up!) and get a limited time discount

There are limited spots on this trip, and those at the meeting will have first access.

I hope to see you there and look forward to sharing how this trip can be a powerful and unforgettable chapter in your child’s life!

Thanks,
Whitney Ward
