Our 3rd-7th grade students will take the TerraNova standardized test on Monday, April 20. Parents can help by making sure students get good rest, eat a healthy breakfast, and arrive at school on time. Students who are absent on these days will need to make up the test. Please do your best to reschedule any appointments to a later date.
There will be no makeup testing on Wednesday, April 29, due to a faculty meeting.
Our Panda Players theatre group will perform The Big Bad Musical on Friday, May 1, at 7 pm, Saturday, May 2, at 11 am, and Saturday, May 2, at 2 pm. Ticket sales will open first for our Panda Player families from April 13-17. Each cast member's family may purchase up to 6 tickets total for the entire run during this early access period. General ticket sales will be open from April 20 to May 1. If tickets are still available, they will be sold at the door. The cost for the tickets is as follows: $12 for adults and $8 for students.
Teacher Appreciation Week is May 4–8. This year, instead of providing full meals each day, we will celebrate our teachers with something special planned for each day of the week. Each day will have a different theme, and we are asking for donations as well as volunteers to cover cafeteria duty so teachers can enjoy their lunch in the lounge amongst adults. Please click the SignUpGenius links to donate or volunteer. If you would like to contribute an item not listed, please select “Miscellaneous Item” and include a note with your donation. If you have any questions, please get in touch with Jenna Parra at 985-856-6228.

SERVICE HOUR OPPORTUNITY
The church office needs help to set up and serve for their Mother/Daughter tea. Please sign your child up to volunteer if you feel they are ready to serve with integrity and follow directions respectfully. If your child may need a little extra support, we warmly welcome you to volunteer alongside them. We would love to have you both! Students are asked to commit to serving for the full time slot they sign up for, regardless of the number of service hours they may need. Thank you for helping us provide a consistent and reliable experience for everyone! This event depends on volunteers who are attentive and ready to follow directions carefully.
