"RATS" Leave With Great Revue!
We hope everyone enjoyed the amazing musical production our students brought to us last week. Each one of them worked very hard and did an outstanding job! We are proud of every single student! Many thanks to Mrs. Orr who did a wonderful job of pulling it all together! Without a doubt, it would not have gone near as well without the help of the many parents who spent countless hours making costumes, applying make-up, combing hair, etc.. It was definitely a combined effort of the entire elementary school and will remain in our hearts for a long time to come.
Open House April 28th
You will want to plan ahead for this year's Open House to be held Friday, April 28th at 6:30 PM. This is a wonderful night for students to bring their parents to school and show them what they have been doing in the classsroom this year. We hope every parent will be able to attend.
Also that night at the Loma Vista campus only, our librarian Mrs. Brown, will be hosting the 2006 Book Fair. She will have many wonderful books on display, available for you to purchase.
SAT Testing
The week of April 24th has been set aside for SAT Testing for all 1st-8th graders. Lots of Rest + A Healthy Breakfast = Good Test Scores!
