Dear families,
Our Grade 6 and Grade 1 buddies were getting ready for the spring concert, creating some very cute headbands. You have to come to the concert to see what it’s all about!
Spring Concert – THIS THURSDAY!
“Spring Into Fun” this Thursday from 5:30 – 6:30pm. ALL students are performing! Mrs. Whitehead and your children have been preparing for our spring concert for some time so all students are expected to attend. Please block off this hour to ensure you can stay for the full concert. Due to the size of the gym, we are asking that immediate family members (parents/siblings) attend. If parents/grandparents are not able to attend in the evening, they are invited to attend the dress rehearsal at 1:30pm in the afternoon that day. See you then J
