Fine Arts Night

We are excited about the opportunity to showcase our Arts department.  Our music directors have worked with the students all year on music theory, rhythm, and voice.  During the evening, each choir will be performing.  Our bands and recorders, directed by Mrs. Eckhoff, will also perform.  Mrs. Bird’s art class projects will be displayed around the building; families will be invited to an Open House where they can enjoy the art projects done by the students. 

Students will arrive at 6:15 pm and meet their teacher in their classroom. After the music performance, students return to their classrooms; parents pick them up.  

Students in Kindergarten – 2nd grade are to wear their Sunday best. There will be a cookie reception after the program in the commons. 

In addition, we will also have a Silent Auction with the class art projects.  You can start bidding on them on April 25th.  

All Pro Dads

All Pro Dads will be meeting at 7:15 am on Friday, May 3rd. You are invited to have breakfast and spend time with your student while enjoying fellowship with other dads from the school.
