Dear Parents of 3rd grade
students,

trumpet.jpg

Recently, I demonstrated the various band instruments available in the fourth grade band to your students. Each student was sent home with a band sign-up form, should they choose to join. The forms may be returned to your child's classroom teacher.   

 

Please be sure to list 3 choices on the forms - thank you!! 

Michael Strange,
Band Director

UPDATE

OUTDOOR PLAY SPACE

 

Next Step:  Acquire Gift Cap Exemption from BOE.  

 

Our request to be added to the May 22 BOE agenda was delayed until June 17. 

We plan to have students vote for playground equipment pieces before the June 17 meeting, but purchase will only be made contingent on approval from BOE.

If we receive approval, winning pieces will be announced before school lets out.  We hope to reveal the playground options at the Beach Party on June 1st.

Be sure to attend and see the possible additions. 

 

Contact a PTA Board member if you have any questions.  

Thank you

DRAGON'S LAIR

 Stop by the lost & found area across from the Art & Music Rooms.

 

All items need to be claimed or will be donated at the end of the year.
