Gratitude from Paradise
Recibimos un paquete de cartas de estudiantes y maestros en la Escuela Intermedia Paradise, que nos agradecieron por su donación a su distrito el otoño pasado después de los devastadores incendios que destruyeron su ciudad. Con parte de este dinero pudieron llevar a los estudiantes a su programa de drama para ver una producción de "The Phantom Tollbooth". Las revisiones de la obra fueron variadas, pero todos los estudiantes estaban extremadamente agradecidos por la oportunidad de ver una representación teatral en vivo. Gracias a las familias generosas que hicieron donaciones directas o que compraron en la cafetería durante nuestra carrera de artes escénicas de otoño. Sus donaciones están haciendo una diferencia en la vida de los niños.
The Talent Show
The Variety Show is McNear’s annual showcase of student-performed music, dance, comedy, and theater. This year it will be held on Friday, May 17th at 7pm; a school performance will take place the same day at 9am.
This event is open to any student, Kindergarten-6th grade, who dreams of performing up on stage. We’re encouraging “variety” by way of song and dance collaboration, parent/music teacher participation, skits, stand-up comedy, demonstrations, and movies.

Lost & Found
Lucy ha cubierto los bancos del pasillo delantero con las tristes y solitarias piezas de ropa de Lost & Found. Tómese un momento para caminar a lo largo de la pantalla para localizar los artículos que faltan de sus hijos. ¡Lo comprobé hoy mismo y encontré el impermeable perdido de mi hijo! Esta es una última llamada, todos los artículos serán donados la próxima semana.
