This Wednesday evening, we had a fantastic time at the Band JAM-boree! Our talented students showcased their hard work and dedication, delighting everyone with their performances. It was wonderful to see so many families come out to support our musicians. Congratulations to all the participants for their incredible effort and enthusiasm! A big thank you also goes out to all the parent and teacher volunteers who made this big event possible.
It is almost time to spring our clocks forward. The time change will occur on March 9 at 2am.
Have a safe and nice weekend!
