Dear Parents and Guardians,

This past week our 7^th and 8^th grade students continued to prepare for their midterms that begin tomorrow. A schedule of the exams is posted on the website for your reference. I wish them luck as they begin this process that will prepare them as they enter into high school.

Our preschoolers had their own treasure hunt as they searched the school dressed as pirates. It was adorable to see them so excited and I know they did a great job finding that treasure!

We had a nice turnout for our auditions for the Spring musical and more information regarding rehearsals and the format will be forthcoming. All of the students that auditioned did a great job!

This Friday, January 27^th we will be collecting items for our Blessing Bag Brigade. A flyer will be sent out with the requested items. Items will be categorized by grade levels. For more information on this organization, please feel free to click the link below.

Students can dress in their gym clothes for the day as activities are planned for them in addition to Ice Cream Sundaes for dessert at their scheduled lunches. Please make sure you return their permission slips this week so we can ensure our ordering is accurate.
