And just like that, we are off and running! The 2022-2023 school year has begun!

It was raining outside, but somehow it felt so sunny inside. There were old friends, new friends, a bit of nervousness, quite of bit of laughter, and a whole lot of love.

From teachers helping students into classrooms to many excited "summer catch-ups," everything was a buzz. Our New Student Ambassadors displayed leadership and caring as they took new students through their schedules and escorted them to classes.

Once everyone was settled, the entire school joined together in the Activity Center for the Welcome Assembly. It was a time to recognize all of our new and returning students and faculty. A few short, inspirational words were shared by the Head of School, Mr. Michael Moimoi, and the rest of the Administrative Team before students returned to classes and the business of learning.

We love the first day of school. In many ways, we consider ourselves a big family, and it is always great when family gets together.

HAVE A GREAT YEAR, DRAGONS!
