Fine Arts at Seneca
If you thought Thursday's artwork and choral concert was amazing, we weren't finished. Our 8th grade band had a huge weight on their shoulders as they performed at district assessment Friday night. Needless to say, they crushed it gaining a full SUPERIOR rating. Mic drop.
At this point, you think I might be done, but NO, there's more. Mary Poppins Jr. is ready to roll. Some of our 8th graders were working on this as 6th graders before the performance got closed down due to COVID. Now they're back and stronger than ever. Come out and support our drama production and these exceptionally hard working students and staff as they close out March and open April with plenty of drama... in a good way :)
Fine Arts Night is about FAMILY!
Mary Poppins Jr. is NEXT!
Clinic Updates (formerly known as COVID Updates)
We have had another great week. 2 years after COVID first changed Seneca and schooling across the globe, we had zero positive cases to report in our community. Since masks have been optional, we have had 1 positive student case in 3 weeks. Although we have worked with our students to develop empathy for any choice they make with masks, I would love to hear from you if there is something you feel we can address to help support all student choices.
Thank you for filling in the form to help us with contact tracing if your child tests positive.
