What?! The school year is one fourth of the way completed! The end of this week marks the end of the first nine weeks. We have so much going on....please be sure to see all of the announcements below!
I want to give a BIG SHOUT OUT to our 7th and 8th grade chorus members for their AWESOME performance last week at the Fall Concert! It was a superb concert and I am so excited to see where you will go this year! If any parents have pictures of the groups, or videos that you would not mind sharing, if you would please send those to me via email, or facebook messenger on our facebook page. It would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Wishing everyone a GREAT week!

Your Choral Director, Mrs. Shelley Patrick
When not at school, I spend time with my husband Mike, and my two children, Daniel (a junior), and Molly (8th grade). I'm originally from Orlando, Florida and I spend several weeks a year visiting with family, visiting the theme parks, and going to the beach. I also spend my spare time reading, and spending time with my friends and family.
