The students shined today performing the Lion King! If you have an opportunity tonight please come and see our 3rd and 4th graders perform at either 6 pm or 7:15 pm in our gymnasium. The entire school got to see their friends perform the beloved show! Remember conferences begin next week and picture retakes are November 9th. All homeroom class pictures are being retaken.
Have a wonderful weekend!
