Preparing Your Child for Success
🌟 GRIT Students of the Week! 🌟
We are so proud of this week’s GRIT Students at Mary M. Knight! 🦉💙
From stepping outside their comfort zones and trying something new, to staying focused, helping others, speaking up, and refusing to give up when things felt hard—our students showed that GRIT can look different for everyone.
👏 Congratulations to Brielle, Marissa, Dillon, Gage, Stanley, Lilly, Grayson, Jasper, Aurora, and Braden!
You are already showing what it means to Launch with Intention through Growth × Ownership. Keep showing your GRIT, Owls! 💪🦉✨

Welcome Back, OWLS!
Today was what it is all about: students back in our classrooms, learning together, reconnecting with one another, and beginning a new year of opportunities at Mary M. Knight.
It was great to walk through our buildings and see our students engaged, our staff building relationships, and our classrooms coming back to life. These first days are about establishing strong routines, creating a sense of belonging, and setting the foundation for a year filled with learning, growth, and GRIT.
Thank you to our staff, students, and families for helping us get the 2026–2027 school year off to a great start.
Welcome back, OWLS. We are excited for the year ahead!
