Mark your calendars!

The much anticipated dance showcase is just around the corner!  Please join us for an afternoon of amazing performances featuring ES, MS and HS students.  Be prepared to be wowed with broadway, jazz, lyrical, hip hop, reggae, k-pop, ballet, contemporary and more! Two of our 5KP students and my own daughter Hannah are involved in this performance, I am looking forward to encouraging our students to live their dreams.

Yearbooks are selling like hotcakes!
To avoid disappointment, we would like to stress that we only are selling 300 Yearbooks. Once this figure is reached, Yearbook sales will close.
If you did not receive a yearbook form, you are able to pay directly to the cashier so just give the cash to me, and I will make sure you get your yearbook.
