Pictures of the semi formal dance held last weekend are now up on the website. Check it out!
This Friday. May 7, is our big night – Evening of the Arts! We’ll assemble at the Hayti Heritage Center and the program begins at 7 PM. This is a required parent event and a true highlight of the year – you won’t want to miss it!
Parent Service opportunity – we need someone to video tape the Evening of the Arts program and make a few copies of the recording for some of our international students whose parents will not be in attendance. Please let me know via email if you have suitable video camera and tripod and are willing to do this recording and copying.
Speaking of parent service, if any of your participation over the school year was overlooked on the recent invoices that were sent home, please let Wendy know and we’ll make the adjustment. We do our best to keep track of lots of different activity but, inevitably, some things get overlooked.
