This is a great opportunity for students and families to enjoy a concert, learn more about the music options for 6th grade, try different instruments and check out your student's art work. Please check out the blurb below for more information.

Our Jr. HOPE Squad has planned spirit days and some special activities for HOPE Week. We will have therapy dogs, inflatables and giveaways throughout the week. We hope to see our students participating and having fun.

Thursday is Science Day. No specials classes, just lots of Science:) Please consider volunteering and donating items to support this exciting day.

Friday we have our Hoops for Heart Assemblies to raise awareness and money for the American Heart Association. We are also celebrating World Down Syndrome Day by wearing crazy socks!

One week until Spring Break! Go Tigers!
