  • Earth Day Concert Highlights!
Last Saturday, our students brought the spirit of unity and hope to the stage with a powerful message:
“We are the world, we are the children.”

Through music, they reminded us that together, we can care for our planet and each other.
We’re so proud of every performer who shared their voice and heart — it was truly a beautiful celebration of Earth and community.

Thank you to all the families, friends, and supporters who joined us. Stay tuned for photos and videos!
