READING QUIZ STUDY GUIDE
ATLANTA FOOD BANK
Students will be eating lunch when they return to school around 12:30, so lunch will be much later than usual. If your child brings his/her lunch, bagged lunches are not necessary since we will be eating at school. I encourage you to send a snack or two with your child so that he/she can eat it before we go to the Atlanta Food Bank.
Finally, please make sure your child wears CLOSE TOE SHOES on Wednesday. Thank you!
ANNIE JR AUDITIONS
Musical Auditions will take place the second and third week of November during music class. Students seeking leading roles may sign up to audition after school (sign-up outside music room). All student participants should register (performers & backstage crew).
Please register your student for Annie Jr. prior to the audition:
