Updated Talent Show Information
We are happy to announce that on Friday April 3 we will host our annual talent show to showcase passions and talents of many Serene Hills students. Thank you PTO for taking this under your wing and supporting our Chairman with this event. In a effort to include as many acts as possible, while keeping the length of the show manageable, there will be a need to limit the number of acts and have certain guidelines to follow such as solo acts reserved for 4th and 5th only. Students are encouraged to partner with friends to include several students in their act. It is possible that not all students that try-out will proceed to the show this year.
The show will be in two sections. Act One will be K-2 students and Act Two will be 3-5 with an intermission in between. In order to meet safety expectations, stay within fire code and not place anyone in harm's way, we will limit the number of tickets for the event. We feel strongly that all families of performers have a place at the event to cheer on their child while maintaining safety in cafeteria capacity. Families of students performing will automatically be given six tickets. Additional tickets will be available the week of the event. Watch for more information. Audience members must have a ticket for entry.
Now on to the fun stuff...

Week at a Glance
February focus of the month: Sportsmanship
School-wide events this week:
We will have a lock down drill next week. It will be in collaboration with local police to ensure all aspects of our campus are safe in lockdown mode. Again, this is a drill for staff and students to practice safety procedures. If you arrive at school and see many police cars, please do not panic. We will post signs on the front door when we go into the drill. Watch for an additional email with more details next week.
