Dear Parents, Students and Friends,
Let us pray for our seniors and all our girls as we get closer to the end of the school year.
"Father God, we thank you. We pray that you will give our girls direction, purpose, and perseverance as they enter the next phrase of their lives. Give them clearness of mind to move forward into the plans and purposes that You have for them. May these young people gain wisdom from You and have discernment for proper behavior. Give them wisdom to spend their time and money wisely. Grant them success for their efforts at every turn, and guide their feet to follow Your ways. May they be eager to do good all the days of their lives. In Jesus name, Amen."
May God bless you and your families.

Theater "Banquet"
We will be celebrating the year that was, and the year that will be next year, on Tuesday May 17th. If you participated in the Theater Program in ANY CAPACITY this year you're invited. We will start in the Auditorium at 6:15 with a celebration of the great work that was done this year and an announcement of the theme for next year. Then, if you're attending the Band Banquet you can head off to that event (also on the evening of the 17th) as the theater folks move to the stage for dinner and some awards, some mild roasting of the graduating seniors, as well as information about NEXT YEAR'S SHOWS!! (Hint...we are NOT DOING Pirates of Penzance). ALSO we highly encourage people to check out the Visual Art and Architecture presentation/galleries in Centenary and the Library. Those will be starting earlier in the evening. SO, come check out some great art, stick around for the exciting news about next year and let Mr. Bogad know if you were a participant in the theater program who plans on joining us for dinner.
