Principal’s Notes

There are lots of special events and performances coming up during the last weeks of school. Please take a look at some of the announcements below and check in with your son or daughter about them. Hopefully you can make it to a few of them as well! Also, please look for the mailing going home this week with additional information about end-of-school events and schedules and AIMS results for those who took them. The mailing should arrive by Thursday.

In the Field – Performance by “The C.A.S.T.”

On Friday, May 12 students will attend a performance by The CAST, or Clean and Sober Theatre, a group of youth who do alcohol and drug use prevention and peer education through drama.
