Good morning,
The Ambassador band performances last Friday were a lot of fun. It is wonderful to see students trying out new instruments and roles in the bands. Kudos to the Ambassadors who were in Newsies Jr. this past weekend; it was a fantastic show!
Students have been hard at work on their final projects this week and It is the last week of World Language classes for the year. We hope that people have at least perused the Spring Trip packing list to make sure you have everything you need and there are no surprises on Sunday evening.
