Two Week Look Ahead

Two Week Look Ahead - March 1, 2019

I hope everybody is enjoying their February vacation. The Competitive Class Plays were last week. While the Junior class won the competition, all three of the grades had outstanding performances. Being a judge is not easy! If you were not able to attend this year, make a point of coming out to see our talented students hit the big stage next year. Additionally, there will be a grade 6-12 musical Annie Jr. please come out an see the production. More details on that to come.

There are a few things I wanted to bring your attention to, over the next couple of weeks.
