💙💚 From Our Hearts….Thank You, Eagle Families! 💚💙

Tonight was certainly an evening we will remember! 😅 While having to move into a secure situation was not part of our Open House plans, we want to begin by saying how grateful we are that our Eagles, families, and staff were kept safe. Your safety will always be our very first priority. ❤️

And even with that unexpected moment, there was so much to celebrate tonight!

Our 1st and 2nd graders absolutely ROCKED their Hispanic Heritage performance! 🎶💃🏽👏 We could not be more proud of them. They worked hard, they shared their talents, and they brought so much joy to our evening. A huge thank you to our teachers for all of the time and love they poured into preparing our students.

And to our families—thank you for showing up. ❤️ Seeing you walk through our doors, visit classrooms, meet with teachers, watch your children perform, and simply be part of their school experience means more than you may realize.

School is so much more special when we can celebrate it together.

Thank you for your patience, your understanding, your support, and for being part of our Candlewood family. We are incredibly proud to serve this amazing community.

Candlewood Eagles, we may have had an unexpected detour tonight, but we still SOARED! 🦅✈️💙💚
