A PLACE FOR POSITIVITY
 
 
Skin Relief for Healthcare Workers
Last year, Milo Suarez '22 and Mia Suarez '23 founded the Together Strong Foundation, an organization dedicated to helping those in need in our community. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the organization has been partnering with businesses and giving back to frontline workers. Recently, the group teamed up with Farmhouse Fresh Skincare to donate skincare items and bring much-needed relief to healthcare workers at Baptist Hospital who are struggling with bruised faces after wearing masks for long hours. 
 
We Are the World
To close out the school year, Lower School students enjoyed a final virtual assembly. The presentation included a performance by their very own virtual choir, as students came together to sing "We Are the World."
