Bass Hall Field Trip & Spring Pictures!
We will be getting our Spring & Group pictures taken before we leave for our field trip. Since we have pictures in the morning, we will not be wearing our field trip shirts.
We will be leaving for Bass Hall right after we finish with pictures. After our show, we will be going to eat lunch at a park in Benbrook. Reminder: This is a student only field trip. However, you are welcome to meet us at the park for lunch if you would like.
Spring Break!

Hat Day
For $1, your child is allowed to wear a ball cap (not a crazy hat). The money raised will go towards technology for our campus.

Students that wear the color BLUE on Wednesdays will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a prize from the office!
The color will change every 6 weeks.
