Some of y’all have been patiently waiting since 2019 for the garden tiles to be installed… well, the wait is OVER! The beautiful hand-painted tiles are officially up in Herod’s Garden!

These unique works of art bring color, creativity, and a sense of community spirit to our outdoor space. Please stop by, take a stroll, and admire the beauty of our garden and the legacy of our Jets!  

We were able to provide lunch for the teachers and staff during their pre-service days before the students returned to school. During this luncheon, we informed each teacher that they will receive money from the PTO to help prepare their classrooms for the school year!
