Student council is sponsoring a Lights Out event tomorrow, May 13th. Students are encouraged to wear all black and bring a flashlight to school. Teachers will find some time during the day to have students work/read in the dark! Thank You to our Student Council for sponsoring another awesome event!
Save the Date: Portfolio Night is scheduled for Tuesday, May 17th from 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm. Students are very excited to share their work and show off the progress they have made this school year.
