Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are proud to present the first printed copy Tiger Stripes, our new annual student anthology. This collection features writing from our Creative Writing elective, illustrations from our Art III students, and select photography submitted from our Journalism elective.
The anthology was selected by our faculty and reflects the time and care students put into developing and showcasing their excellence.
Copies are available for $12 each. Proceeds help cover printing costs and support our creative programs.

National School Lunch Hero Day is the perfect excuse to celebrate the real MVPs of the cafeteria—the folks who somehow keep the lunch line moving at lightning speed, and still manage to smile through the chaos of spilled milk and mystery stains. These everyday heroes juggle trays, tater tots, and little humans with impressive skill, all while making sure students are fueled up and ready to learn. Whether they’re serving up pizza slices or encouraging kids to try their veggies, lunch heroes bring a little extra kindness (and a lot of patience) to the school day. Honestly, the lunchroom wouldn’t be the same without them—and that deserves a big, enthusiastic thank you. Thank you to our School Lunch Heroes!

National School Principal’s Day is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the dedicated leaders who keep our schools running with care, vision, and heart. Mrs. Petro does so much more than manage schedules and policies—she inspires students, supports teachers, and creates a positive environment where everyone can grow and succeed. Her commitment often goes beyond the school day, making a lasting impact on our communities. Today is the perfect time to recognize Mrs. Petro’s hard work, share gratitude, and appreciate the difference she makes in shaping your brighter futures every single day. Thank you Mrs. Petro!

What a beautiful way to close out an amazing school year with our Evolving Butterflies.
This year has been filled with growth, learning, and unforgettable moments. Our young ladies have gained so much insight from our wonderful guest presenters, meaningful lessons from Coach Tucker, and hands-on experiences throughout the community. From service projects and educational tours to fellowship, lunches, brunches, and holiday celebrations; every moment has played a part in their journey.
We are so proud of each one of these young ladies and the growth they have shown. It has truly been a joy to watch them learn, connect, and continue to evolve into who they are becoming.
As we close this chapter, we wish our Evolving Butterflies nothing but continued success, confidence, and grace as they keep growing and spreading their wings. They will display how much they have evolved at the Grace and Growth Tea next Saturday. #DunbarDoesItBest
