Principal Note
Munhall Staff Appreciation Week
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! The Munhall community certainly made our teachers feel appreciated this week with all of the amazing treats and decorations. We are so grateful for all of the efforts, and I can speak for the staff by saying we felt acknowledged and appreciated!
Middle School Virtual Visits for 5th Grade Students
Today our 5th grade students had the opportunity to go on ‘Virtual Visits’ to their Middle School. Due to the COVID-19 health and safety precautions limiting our ability to do in-person visits, our students were able to get acquainted with staff, offerings, etc. of the middle schools through a video produced by the middle school teams. All 5th grade families should receive communication from your child’s middle school with links to the videos, so you can view them as well!
5th Grade Clap Out Event
We are planning a ‘Clap Out’ event to honor and celebrate our 5th grade students on the last day of school, May 28th. Although I sent a communication on May 5th to all 5th grade families, more detailed communications will come out at the end of next week. I look forward to this celebratory event!

Join the Orchestra!
All students entering 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade next fall are welcome to participate in the elementary string program. Our goal is to provide meaningful learning experiences in music and develop individual student achievement and appreciation of music. The elementary instrumental music program also provides excellent preparation for the middle school and high school bands and orchestras.
There are four string instruments for students to choose from. Click on these links to learn more about each instrument.
Orchestra Parent Information Virtual Meeting
If you are interested in enrolling your child in orchestra for the 2021-2022 school year, please attend one of our Orchestra New Parent (Virtual) Information Meetings. You will hear more about our D303 Orchestra program, and have a chance to ask any questions you may have. For your convenience, one of the D303 preferred instrument rental vendors will be at each meeting to assist you with renting an instrument. At the end of the presentation, there will be breakout rooms so that we can meet and I can answer any questions specific to Munhall or Lincoln School. Both meetings are identical. Choose the one that works best for you!
