Colorful blocks of information for the week of June 1
 

Dear Trojan Families,

A woman in a black and white 'Trojans' jersey walks with two children under a covered walkway.
We’ve made it to the final four days of the 2025-2026 school year, and what an incredible year it has been! Throughout the year, our students, teachers, and staff have worked hard to make every day count, and their dedication has truly paid off. We are so proud of all that our students have accomplished both inside and outside the classroom. As we wrap up another successful year, we wish everyone a strong finish and a wonderful summer ahead! 💛🖤
