Scorpion families,

Happy April! April is a fun time of the year when the temperature starts getting warmer and hopefully we get a few spring rains. One popular holiday that is fun to celebrate in April is April Fools' Day.

April Fools’ Day—celebrated on April 1 each year—has been celebrated for several centuries by different cultures, though its exact origins remain a mystery. April Fools’ Day traditions include playing hoaxes or practical jokes on others, often yelling “April Fools!” at the end to clue in the subject of the April Fools’ Day prank. While its exact history is shrouded in mystery, the embrace of April Fools’ Day jokes by the media and major brands has ensured the unofficial holiday’s long life.

Scorpion families,

Happy March! March is a fun time of the year when the temperature starts getting warmer and we enjoy our time with our families during Spring Break. One popular holiday that is celebrated is St. Patrick's Day. St. Patrick's Day observes of the death of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. The holiday has evolved into a celebration of Irish culture with parades, special foods, music, dancing, drinks and a whole lot of green. We will be celebrating St. Patrick's Day on campus by wearing green on March 17th.

We’re incredibly proud to be partnered with Adolfson & Peterson Construction, Carhuff & Cueva Architects, LLC and the city of Peoria!
