We look forward to showcasing our students’ musical talents on Wednesday, this week at our K-Gr. 5 Winter Concert.  While we didn’t limit tickets please keep our limited gym capacity in mind.  This event is for immediate family members only.  As we get through the next two weeks of school, remember that students have been working hard.  They are ready for a restful break and can be emotional.  Please ensure that your student is getting enough sleep and are balancing healthy eating with occasional treats.
