We have just released our 2021-2022 Black History presentation entitled, The Rhythm of My Soul, An Alpha Renz Production. The students and staff had a blast! You can view it on the Alpha Renz YouTube channel and experience a cultural explosion of history, spoken word, dance, music, and an old-fashioned good time as many of our staff and students brought the music, the message, and the movement to life!

Medical Update – Be on the lookout for signs and symptoms of a GI bug. The symptoms are abdominal pain, watery diarrhea and nausea or vomiting. It is advised that your child stay home if sick to rest and hydrate. Great options for hydration include Pedialyte, Gatorade or Powerade. If symptoms persist or become severe, however, seek immediate medical attention. Any students with the above symptoms will be sent home.
