We would like to invite all parents and community members to join us tonight for our Elementary Christmas Program! The program will begin at 7:00 in the high school gym. All students should arrive no later than 6:45. Teachers will be waiting at the entry door to help direct students to the proper pre-program holding classroom. Students should wear festive Christmas clothing and remember to bring a flashlight. We hope everyone makes plans to attend tonight's program. Let's pack the gym to support our kiddos!!!

Attention! There was an error on the Christmas Program notes! K-3 students need to wear nice dressy clothes of festive colors instead of cool colors to the program next Thursday. Students also need to bring a flashlight. The songs are on Mrs. Becks youtube. If you type in Twinkle and Shine Mrs. Beck, your child can practice at home! We cannot wait to see everyone at the program next Thursday at 7:00 in the H.S. Gym!!!
