Meet Our Cafeteria Staff!

cafeteria staff
Paul, Consuelo, and Denise are here bright and early to fire up the ovens so all can enjoy breakfast (it's free) and a nice hot lunch. Later in the morning, Vicky, Louise, and Halwo come in to finish up the lunch preparations and help serve all 750 students (that includes our upper school students). The kitchen staff does an amazing job, and we can't thank them enough for serving us healthy, nutritious meals everyday!

Cultural Night 2019

familyInternational Night, renamed Multicultural Night, is coming soon – Tuesday, November 6th – and we're looking forward to putting together another year of fantastic Activity Tables.
