Fine Arts Night is returning on Tuesday, May 10th from 5:30-7pm. We've got some great student performances lined up.

Cupcakes and entry form should be brought to Fine Arts Night and dropped off by 5:15pm on the 10th. Entries without an entry form attached at drop off will not be judged.

Need Time & Talent? We need a few volunteers to accept and arrange the cupcakes and a few more to take money and sell cupcakes and water during intermission. See volunteer sign up.

Our Time and Talent program requires each family to contribute 30 hours of service to the school. Only 20 hours are needed for single parent families. Grandparents can earn hours for their children's families, however you must indicate which grandchild's family you are working for in each particular instance. Students may earn up to 10 hours of their family’s obligation, provided it is for an approved and qualifying volunteer opportunity.

Time and Talent hours must be logged through your FACTS Family Portal under Family Information, Service Hours. Deadline to submit hours for the 2021-22 school year is Friday, May 27, 2022. Logging hours is the responsibility of the family. If your family chooses not to donate the minimum service hours, a $10 fee is charged for each hour not completed. The charges will be uploaded into FACTS. Unpaid charges can affect final registration for the 2022-2023 school year.
