Principal Notes
Dear Parents,
There is a lot going on this week including Pie 'n Burger Day tomorrow, a visit from alumni and author, Brian Hill on Wednesday, and Dollar Dress Day for Assisting Children's Ministry on Friday. Additionally, 4th grade has started their camp supplies drive for Circle V camp. It's exciting to know that our students have much to look forward to but also are involved in helping others have better lives too.
We had to close the rsvp's for Pie 'n Burger Day last Thursday so that we could place our order. If you did not make a reservation with us, please don't surprise us by showing up. It puts us in the awkward position of having to turn away parents, but if we don't, we will run out for those who did rsvp. Thank you so much to Pie 'n Burger and Michael Osborn for his continued support of the school, long after his own children have graduated.
Before we know it the Spring Concert will be here on May 17. This is the time for our students to shine and show their musical education to the community. Although all students should be in attendance, if you know that your child will not be here please let Mrs. Homan know so that she can plan accordingly. Thank you.
Have a wonderful week,
Jennifer
