Congratulations to Junior Boys Basketball Player David Schoen!
💍💒💖 We’re officially married… Q & U said “I do!” 💖💒💍
On Friday, Kindergarten threw the wedding of the year—a beautiful ceremony celebrating the forever partnership of Q & U! 👰🤵
Our little guests dressed their best, walked down the aisle, exchanged Ring Pop vows, and sealed the deal with a toast (Capri Suns, of course!) and delicious Zebra Cakes. 🎂🥂 Then, we hit the dance floor and partied it up at the reception of the century! 🕺💃
Even our past students came back to relive this iconic day—because once you celebrate Q & U, you never forget! ❤️
Now, our Kindergarteners will always remember that Q is never without U—they’re stuck together forever! ✨
Congratulations to Junior Lauren Bailey and Senior Ellie Borrowman. Lauren Bailey was awarded First Team-All Conference honors and Ellie Borrowman was awarded Honorable Mention-All Conference honors.
In honor of the 113th birthday of Girl Scouts, our local troops participated in leading the pledge and morning announcements. Great work girls!
