Shadow Performances :)





Congratulations on a great production today during the Haunted Class.  The photo station, touring and shadow performances were all wonderfully done! Thank you to our parent volunteers for your support !!!

Note:  For those who be going out tonight have a great and safe time trick-or-treating tonight.  Please do not bring in any 'treats' to share with friends Monday.  The food policy is still in effect and we need to respect that.  Save your 'sweet tooth' for times outside of the school day.  For those who will not be out tonight, enjoy your time with family and friends!
