All-School Highlights
IN TEMPO WITH TREY

In April, Trey Tillotson (grade 10) auditioned for the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association All-State Concert Band and placed first chair out of five bass clarinets. Over 110 schools participated at All-State in six different concerts - all-state band, wind ensemble, jazz band, vocal jazz, chorus, and orchestra.

Looking ahead, Trey will audition for the 2019 Eastern Division Conference Honors Ensemble.

Congratulations, Trey! We are so proud of all you have accomplished.

A MESSAGE FROM MRS. POWERS

Dear Parents,

Last week provided another awesome opportunity for students to grow in faith as the Wexford campus joined others across the country observing the National Day of Prayer . Led by student representatives from each class, we prayed together before starting morning activities. How awesome to hear the sincere prayers and, together, put our faith into action.

On Friday, May 4, students in grades 3 and 4 sharpened their science skills with a morning of exploration and hands-on learning at the Science Olympiad . Special thanks to Mrs. Merrick and Mrs. LoDico for coordinating the activities and 6th grade students who helped make this a great, and fun, experience!

Links to photos for each of these activities are below.

I hope to see you on Tuesday, May 8, at Fine Arts Night!

In His service,
Carrie A. Powers
Elementary Principal
