Camelback Desert School

A Note from Our Principal 

February brought so many bright moments to our school! Our students celebrated friendship, kindness, and the unique qualities that make each of us special. Valentine’s Day added extra fun, with festive activities and sweet surprises shared among friends.
As we head toward spring, our teachers are planning hands-on experiences to help our students explore the signs of the new season. We’re excited for the weeks ahead, filled with new beginnings and growth.
Sincerely,
Ms. Vici
