Dear Parents,
We are now coming to the end of our Walk-a-thon celebration with our ending assembly on Thursday, May 20 at 2:20 p.m. We have done an outstanding job - the “Circus” theme helped bring fun and community to the event. We will have the new Kindergarten class up and running. Mr. Rapier will be adding new technology for our teachers and students and our reformatted band program should bring more students to be a part of the band.
Again, thank you, parents, for all the hours you have put into making the Walk-a-thon not only a great fundraiser but a great community builder.
Due to unforeseen circumstances we had to move the Principal for the Day to this Friday. So on Friday, May 14, we will have a Spirit day in which the students are asked to dress-up – shirt, tie, and dress pants for the boys and dresses or Sunday best (modest clothing please) for the girls.
God Bless,
Wendell MacCormack
Principal

Prices are great too with the small/medium sized lilacs selling for $20, the large ones for $40 and the hydrangeas selling for $10 each or 2 for $15. Monies from all plants sold go directly to the school to support school programs. Come and check them out.
