In a school with so many interests and activities, Halloween is one of the few experiences that all of the grades share.
Of course, each division celebrates it differently.
This year's Open House brought more than 200 visitors to the Keystone community.
Between the Little School and main campus, 93 families checked in and registered.
For these fifth graders, the ups and downs of the learning process all come together in a literal roller coaster.
It’s learning by solving a problem.
Congratulations to 9th grader Naya in her victory at the Marathon 2 Marathon race in West Texas.
She successfully defended her title in the 14-19 age group for the 10K race.
The school day may be done, but the learning continues in Aftercare for the Lower School.
Most recently, students have begun learning from Ms. Obregon how to crochet.

The library card is a passport to wonders and miracles, glimpses into other lives, religions, experiences, the hopes and dreams and strivings of ALL human beings, and it is this passport that opens our eyes and hearts to the world beyond our front doors, that is one of our best hopes against tyranny, xenophobia, hopelessness, despair, anarchy, and ignorance.
Do you remember the first time you entered a library?Do you recall the sense of wonder and possibility?
