Last Friday, our 5th Grade class brought a myriad of inventions to life at the annual Invention Convention. From dish-drying contraptions to Lego sorters, automatic dog feeders to a pocket-sized washing machine, their creativity and skillful model-making were on full display. We hope they carry this Spark of Innovation with them all life long!

All applications for Tuition Assistance are due by this Friday, March 8. Applications may be completed on the Blackbaud Financial Aid Management website. For more information, please refer to the Tuition Assistance Guide HERE.

Terra Nova testing for 3rd-5th grade students will be held next week on March 5 & 6, with a makeup day on March 7. Parents, please plan ahead to help your students shine. We recommend that our Sparks:

• Get a good night’s sleep.
• Eat a hearty breakfast so hunger isn’t an issue.
• Be in school and on time every day.

As parents, we are leaders. And our families are the organizations we lead. The best leaders are self-aware, who know where they can contribute, how they show up, and how they impact those around them.

Join EPA’s Moms Club for a conversation with Pascale Burns and Karyn MacFarlane about The Six Types of Working Genius, and how it can help transform how you show up in your marriage and family. Learn where you can let go of guilt and frustration and instead lean into your God-given geniuses!
