Thank you to all the families that came to our Literacy Night last night! We all had a wonderful time reading stories and sharing something special with the community!
Parents, check out the flyer for the schedule of when students will be performing at tomorrow's Festival of Lights! The document also has a reminder of what students should wear.
We apologize, but it looks like the weather isn't going to cooperate for the parade this year, but all the rest of the Festival of Lights events will still be going on starting at 9AM!
The weather might be a little gloomy on Saturday, but that's not stopping our Festival of Lights celebration! The venue is just being moved to the HS Gym on Saturday, December 7th from 10am-4pm! Weather permitting, the parade will still happen around 6!
