Week 20
“It always seems impossible until it’s done.” – Nelson Mandela
We will be singing in chapel on Sunday, January 26th at the 9:00 service. A note from Mr. DeVries was sent home a few weeks ago. Students are to wear their uniforms, and I am sure they are going to sound delightful! Please make sure that you contact him with any questions. I am looking forward to seeing you all on that day.
