Dear Parents,

Thank you so much for supporting our awesome Parent Social event at Topgolf this past weekend. I think the non-golfers actually had more fun than the golfers in the group! It was a perfect time to get together and celebrate friendships in this wonderful school. Thank you so much to all of our sponsors, event planners, donors, auction winners, and other volunteers.

Tonight is our annual Spring Musical for grades 2-5 at 6:30 p.m. in the church sanctuary. We hope that all of you have a chance to come out and enjoy the evening. Thank you, Ms. Marshall and Mr. Strine, for organizing and leading this event.

Finally, please note that school will be closed from Monday, March 26th through the end of the day on Monday, April 2nd. School resumes on Tuesday, April 3rd due to Easter Monday. There is no Extended Day during Spring Break.

Fondly,

Martha Milton
