Principal's Newsletter -- March 8, 2009

Spring conferences are already here! If you have not yet made an appointment to come speak with your child's teachers, please do so as soon as possible. I will send a separate email to parents of 5th-8th graders speaking directly to some of the changes we are making to impact the conference format in a positive way.

• Tickets for the 12th annual Children's Author Lecture are available in the office. This year the author is John Scieszka, and the event is scheduled for April 20th at 7:00 at the First Congregational Church downtown.
• Mark your calendars for Cabaret 2009! The shows will be May 14-16 in the Grade School Gymnasium. Mr. Mandis will be assisted in directing the performance by musical director Kurt Crowley, as well as the multi-talented Mrs. Scholz who will work with select numbers. In addition, the show would not be possible without the support of innumerable parent volunteers!
• The lost and found collection is at capacity. Please check the bins outside the gym.
