Finishing Strong: Celebrating the Final Month of the School Year

As we turn the calendar to May, we find ourselves in the final stretch of another incredible school year. It’s hard to believe how quickly the months have flown by — and now, the finish line is in sight!

The last month of school brings a mixture of excitement, anticipation, and a little bit of bittersweet emotion. It’s a time to celebrate the hard work, growth, and perseverance that each of our students has shown from the very first day of the year until now. Whether in preschool or on the verge of graduation, every student has a story of learning, accomplishment, and transformation that deserves to be honored.

How We Can Finish Strong

As we enter these final weeks, it’s important to stay focused and intentional. Here are a few ways we can encourage our students to finish the year well:

• Stay Engaged: The learning doesn’t stop in May! Encourage your child to remain attentive, curious, and participatory until the very last day.

• Celebrate Milestones: Recognize the growth and achievements — big and small — that have been made throughout the year.

• Reflect on the Journey: Take time to look back and celebrate the academic, social, and spiritual progress made this year.

• Finish with Gratitude: Remind students to thank their teachers, mentors, and friends who have walked alongside them throughout this journey.

A Heartfelt Congratulations

To all of our students: we are so proud of you! You have demonstrated resilience, faith, and determination. You’ve navigated challenges, embraced new opportunities, and continued to grow in knowledge and character. As a school community, we celebrate each one of you for your achievements and for the person you are becoming.

A Special Salute to the Class of 2025

To our seniors, the Class of 2025: this is your moment.
