Weekly Update April 19

What a beautiful weekend! Hope everyone got outside to enjoy the weather!


The PIP Committee is looking for student volunteers to help serve at the Spring Tea on April 24th. Permission forms went home two weeks ago and very few have come back. If you can commit to a time session on Saturday, please send the form back to the school or email me and I'll send another one home to complete. Parent volunteers would be greatly appreciated as well. The sign up sheet is on the PIP bulletin board.
