Cultural Arts Week Celebrates America 

America is truly the "Melting Pot" of the World. It is only in America where you can experience so many different cultures without leaving your own country! During our Cultural Arts Event we will take the time to learn just a little bit more about the people and cultures that make our country so unique. See the full schedule at hendrickspta.com.

 

Flyers for the Southern BBQ luncheon went home last week. The deadline to return the order forms and payment is Wednesday, May 2. Forms also can be found at hendrickspta.com.
