Please be careful entering our Hurstbourne Lane parking lot today. City crews are doing roadwork and there is a piece of equipment that is partially blocking our Hurstbourne Lane entrance. Be patient with each other and be careful.

✨ PEACE IN THE CHAOS | Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential.
JCPS families came together last week for an evening filled with food, games, and hands-on self-care resources designed to help everyone discover simple, meaningful ways to create inner peace. From laughter and connection to practical tools to take home, this event was all about caring for ourselves and each other.
Because when families feel supported, our whole community grows stronger.
