Thanks to all for an exciting Homecoming, and another fine performance of “Script Bees†on Friday night! As always, the instrument decorations are a fun way to showcase the limitless creativity and spirit of our students… thanks to everyone who stayed to help clean up the music area.
A huge THANK YOU to Kathy Richards and Nancy Randall, as well as all students and parents who volunteered to help with the DRIVE 1 Fundraiser! Â The weather was beautiful, and we had a good turnout. MANY THANKS!
