Parent traffic on the back loop is conflicting with bus traffic. This sets up a potential safety hazard. For the safety of our students and drivers, students must be picked up in front of the school until 5PM. We appreciate your help and understanding.

Incredibly proud of all of our students for an OUTSTANDING Mid-Winter Concert.  Beautiful music comes from the heart and you displayed the highest level of artistry through this performance.  Thank you to all for the many hours spent practicing and perfecting your music.  Concerts are the ultimate group effort and you gave 110%.

As you receive your solo originals, please number the solo and accompaniment parts in pencil, and turn in the accompaniment to your director ASAP so we can give it to the accompanists to practice.  Solos may be ordered from www.penders.com and www.jwpepper.com.
