Faculty/Staff and Students - Please take extra caution when walking on and off school grounds, especially when crossing roadways and parking lots. Despite salting by the crews, refreezing has created some slippery areas throughout.
Our 4th and 5th-grade actors and stage crew have been hard at work for many weeks. Come for a fabulous, 45-minute, excitement-filled show.
Enjoy the bake sale with proceeds going toward a Drama Club scholarship for next year!
