Principal's Message
Dear Mr. Willis,
I just wanted to let you know that your students who attended the performance of LIGHTNING THIEF at the North Shore Music Theatre were polite and well-behaved. They were a great audience as they attended to the show. It was a pleasure having them at our theatre. Thank you!
Enjoy the rest of your school year!!

District-Wide Spring Concert
Manchester Essex High School Auditorium
Dress Rehearsal Tuesday May 3, 2016 7:30-8:30 a.m.
Concert Wednesday May 4, 2016 7:00 p.m.
I need parent volunteers to supervise our young musicians during the dress rehearsal on Tuesday May 3rd from 7:30-8:30 a.m. while I conduct the 2 bands. An extra set of eyes would also be helpful at the concert on May 4th 6:30– 8:00 p.m. The children will be in their warm up room prior to performing on stage and your presence in the room would be extremely helpful. Thank you! - Richard Carpenter
