This Week at SIG
Sunday is Parent Visitation Day. From 9 to 11 am you may meet instructors and discuss your child's progress. If you would like to take your child off campus, please be sure to sign them out. The student talent show is at 7:30 pm in Anna Head auditorium. It would be very entertaining. We have singers, dancers, and dueling yo-yo's--you won't want to miss this activity.
On Thursday, we will have theater night. It is at 7:30 pm, also in Anna Head. Students from a number of performance classes will be presenting what they have learned: Improv, Fencing, Digital Photography, and others. We hope you will plan to attend if you can.
