Wonka “Wows” Audiences!
Last Friday, Embers Fire Choir brought the beloved story of Willy Wonka and his chocolate factory to the stage in a joyful (and colorful) production. From the lovable orange Oompa Loompas to the enchanting world inside Wonka’s factory, every detail helped capture the magic of the show. Our Spark performers dazzled as they sang and danced through a collection of favorite songs, while sharing a message about the importance of honesty and kindness.
Congratulations to the Embers Fire Choir students, directing team, visual leads, and parent volunteers whose hard work and creativity made this stunning production possible!

Handbook Update
Since the school building is largely unsupervised after dismissal, we ask that all students be accompanied by an adult when walking through the main driveway or entering the building. For safety reasons, the following handbook update is now in effect:
After-School Building Access
Following dismissal, students must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to re-enter the school building. Children will not be permitted to enter the building alone after dismissal, including to use the restroom the South Wing restrooms; the West and North Wings will be locked.

Our 5th Grade Sparks brought history to life on Thursday at the annual Wax Museum. After weeks of research and preparation, students stepped into the roles of influential figures from across history, including saints, authors, and presidents. Dressed in costume and armed with knowledge, each Spark shared the life and special achievements of their selected person. It was an impressive afternoon showcasing the hard work of our Sparks as they wrap up their last year at Embers!
