Well done to all those who performed in the Spring Show!! It was entertaining and fun to watch. The next couple of weeks are a bit busy. There is field day on Friday and the 8th grade goes on a retreat on Wednesday. We are going to St. Johns Univerity! We are very excited about both events.

The homework may be a little off this week due to schedule changes. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.

Everyone got their tests back and they should get them signed and corrected.

Re: Graduation committee and activities

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Graduation is right around the corner. Therefore it is imperative that we hold a meeting on Friday May 21st for all the parents/guardians. At this meeting we are asking for everyone to attend in order to form a graduation committee and discuss in detail what needs to be accomplished. This committee will be in charge of delegating and organizing the Graduation Luncheon and the food for the Graduation Dance. We ask that you please let us know if you will be there and if you are interested in being on a committee. Even if you are not interested in being on a committee we ask that you please attend so we can get your input. We look forward to seeing you on May 21 at 7:45 a.m.

Sincerely,

Ms. Black Ms. Becht

Please return by Thursday May 20th

We had a very successful fundraiser for "Feed the Children." The students came up with the idea, bought the supplies, wrote the announcements for the loud speaker, made posters, wrote poems, and did a lot of work!! Their hard work and team work made a difference! We raised $378!!! Their selfless efforts made me very proud!!

Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there! You have wonderful children.
