Frozen Jr. – An Incredible Opening Night!
Last night’s opening performance of Frozen Jr. was absolutely amazing! Our students shined on stage, and we’re so proud of their hard work. Saturday night’s show is officially SOLD OUT, but we still have 30 tickets left for tonight’s performance (Friday)! First come, first served—if you’d like to reserve tickets, please email Claire.Alexander@greenspireschool.org as soon as possible. Don’t miss this magical production!
Medical Careers Day – A Huge Success!
Students had an exciting hands-on experience at Medical Careers Day, including the opportunity to determine their own blood types!

Thank you for helping to inspire the next generation of healthcare professionals!
Have a great weekend!
