“Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way.” – Booker T. Washington
Important Information
Only three days this week! I wish all of you a wonderful long weekend, and I hope to see you on Monday at the parade!
The students did a wonderful job performing on this past Tuesday night. They practiced their instruments and singing a lot, and it certainly paid off. They are a wonderful bunch of students, and I am glad they shined so brightly on the stage!
There is marching band practice everyday this week, so students must have their instruments here. They will take them home on Wednesday.
