Music Updates
Tuesday 5/3, Wednesday 5/4, and Thursday 5/5: I will be out of the building but do have substitute coverage. These are the dates for the district music practices. Once I have collected the permission forms I will send you a list with the 4th and 5th grade students who will be joining me on those days.
Monday 5/23: Lancaster Symphony will be returning to McCaskey to put on a performance for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade. I will send out more details on this in another email.
Have a wonderful day! Once again, please let me know if you are able to attend/help with the concert as soon as you can. Thank you!

District Updates & Announcements
1. The McCaskey Art Department is excited to announce our students were chosen as one of the top 50 finalists in the VANS Shoe Design Competition. Four themes needed to be addressed on four different styles of shoes: art, music, local flavor (Red Rose City) and individual action sport. Voting for McCaskey at VANS Custom Culture is now open and you can vote daily between now and May 11. If our students are in the top 5 they will be flown to California and honored at a reception. The winner receives $50,000 for the school!

See someone going above and beyond...in addition to the paper version of the Staff Spotlight found in the main office here is a link that can also be used to celebrate each other…it can be completely anonymous and there is also a spot for choice on how you feel the celebration should be shared.
A monthly drawing will happen for spotlighted staff to win a PRIZE!
