Halloween Week Fun For All

Our students, faculty, staff and parents really seemed to get in the spirit of Halloween last week and we enjoyed a lovely Mass, a lively Spirit Week, a great costume parade, a fun play and finally, the carnival on Thursday. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to pull off a week that had a lot of moving parts.
  


Preparation Underway for Special Grandparent's/Special Friend's Day
Granparent's Day
Presentation looks forward to welcoming to our campus on Tuesday, November 26 dozens of grandparents and special friends of our students.  This year will be a little different as our guests will enjoy a Student Showcase and they will be treated to lunch served by our students and enjoyed communal style (overseen by our "house" Chef Doug Macfarland of Ramekins).  There will be a chance for campus tours and classrooms visits.  Families are also invited to pop by the library for a quick photograph to commemorate the day.

We can only pull this all off, however, if we know exactly how many guests we have joining us on November 26. Please take a moment to rsvp HERE for your guests TODAY.

Barn or Storage Space?  If you have some extra space in a barn, shed, garage or warehouse, we are looking for a place to store our art display boards, as well as some set pieces for theater.  These boards currently live on the stage and they are preventing us from using the space for drama and music.  Please contact Laura Wallace if you can help us out with storage.
