We are so thankful for our families that braved the snow and joined us for our Grinchy Good Night of Reading! Cadets and families enjoyed fun Grinch themed literacy games, learned how to use AI, and enjoyed goodies at the Who Cafe as they hunted for the missing ornaments. Many Grinchy prizes were earned and lots of holiday shopping happened at the Penguin Holiday Shop too! Everyone had a fantastic time!

Our K-2 Cadets at 22nd put on a wonderful Holiday Music and Art Show last week that left us all feeling in the holiday spirit. Mrs. Hoesman created an art display to showcase winter themed art made by these 9 classes. Mrs. Main worked with our cadets to bring some of our holiday favorites to life including Jingle Bells in English and in Spanish, Let it Go, and more! Great job to all of our talented students and staff who made this show possible. ☃️❄️🎄 View/share the full concert here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X5T4TqyAtcmgyFUaPz0_LxYBZwm6b273/view?usp=drivesdk #MakeYourDreamsTakeFlight
