The Spark of Success

This week’s filming was a triumph! Our Sparks were amazing as they sang, danced, and shared their spirit throughout the school. We are very excited to share the videos with you on Extravaganza night, Saturday, March 4, 2023. Tickets available now.

5th Grade Wins the Scavenger Hunt

Congratulations to our 5th grade class on winning the first of our raffle ticket competitions! Our 5th graders burst out of the gates on day one and never looked back, steadily selling raffle tickets over the past few weeks. Way to go, 5th grade!

But Sparks, don’t despair…
Raffle Ticket Competition Part 2 starts now! The leader board is wiped clean so every class has an even chance to win this next round. Any ticket sales from this weekend will count towards the new prize!

Raffle tickets available at:

A staple of Extravaganza has been our Sign-Up Parties. These events are a great opportunity for our community to come together! This year we are premiering two new parties in addition to an event favorite:
  • For the Men: Whiskey Business. A night to sample a range of different whiskeys and learn about several styles.
  • For the Ladies: Wine Tasting Party. Featuring a delicious assortment of wine and appetizers.
  • For the Kids: JG’s Reptile Show. Held during school, this exciting, educational, interactive, and hands-on experience features reptiles found all over the world!
Sign-up Parties will be available at our Extravaganza on Saturday, March 4.  Space for these events are limited and will be offered to those in attendance first, so get your Extravaganza tickets today!
