SPECIAL NEWS
Welcome, Governor Whitmer
This will be an exciting time for our school. And, in order for it to run smoothly, we are asking that you refrain from dropping by the school to see the Governor. Visitors throughout the building for this purpose of seeing the Governor will not be permitted. However, we will be sure to document and share the visit with everyone through our newsletter and social media. Thank you in advance for helping us ensure a smooth visit!
Thank You, Doherty Family and Doherty PTO
I would also like to thank the PTO for their hard work in planning and hosting an amazing night. Putting together a night like Shamrock Shake is no small task, and I am extremely grateful for their hard work, commitment to Doherty, and passion for creating memorable experiences for our children.

A Message from Mrs. Kutsick about this year's Kindergarten Musical Concert
This musical will showcase your student's musical skills as they sing, dance, act, and share the super-cute story about how music saved spring! The performances will occur during the school day as follows:
Mrs. Kowalski & Mr. Crowe's Classes - Wednesday, April 17th at 1:15-1:45pm
Mrs. Kilano & Mrs. Valentine's Classes - Thursday, April 18th at 1:15-1:45pm
Our amazing Kindergarten team of teachers and myself are working hard with your children to make our musical a HUGE success! However, we are in need of some parental support! Please e-mail your child's teacher if you are willing to help us with costumes and/or scenery! (Our main characters are various flowers, children, narrators, dandelions, and birds. Our story takes place in a garden.) We are performing this on the gym stage. We would love to invite the talents of our Doherty Kindergarten families to help us out! Thank you!!
I am looking forward to having your families attend this special occasion and know it will be a show to remember!
