Something To Do This Summer
It is that time of year again! Please remember to save your box tops over the summer and even ask your family, friends, and neighbors to do the same. It is amazing how those little pieces of paper worth 10 cents each add up. If you have questions please feel free to email me at kszentesi.thomas@yahoo.com.
Thanks so much and have a great summer,
Kim Szentezi-Thomas |

The Scholars' Academy talent show was held on Friday, June 4, 2010 in the gymnasium preceded by a brief PTO meeting  during which the PTO officers for 2010-2011 were presented. There were a variety of unusual and entertaining acts this year including, but not limited to: rocking violins, Irish dancing, jump roping, tae kwon do, original compositions, Indian dancing and a mathematical ballad. We even had some  teachers get in on the act! Great job Ms. Hinkelman, Ms. Moschel and Ms. Metcalf! All in all, a festive time was had by those who attended as well as those who performed.
Thank you to Jenna Reynolds and Rachel Carroll for emceeing as well as the entire student council for their contributions. We would like to thank Trent Pitts for his smooth handling of all the audiovisual equipment and to Susan Scherer for sharing her photographs.   |

Save Our Libraries
