I apologize as I had one of the dates listed wrong on the activities next week. I went ahead and listed all the events again, with the mistake corrected in bold print.
We will have an Awards Assembly for students in grades PK-8 on Tuesday, May 18.This assembly will be held in the gym at 9:30 a.m. Any parents that attend will need to sit in the bleachers and will need to leave immediately following the assembly).
An Awards Banquet will be held on Tuesday, May18 at 6:30 p.m. This event will be for H.S. students. A meal will be served at the beginning of the banquet. The H.S. students will eat free. For all others attending, the meal will cost $8.00. The PTO is supplying the meat for the meal and paying for the H.S. students’ meals. The school appreciates the PTO for this very much. The meal is a fund-raiser for the cheerleaders.

We are asking that anyone who attends any end-of-year events to make sure that you follow COVID-19 protocols. This includes checking your temperature prior to attending as well as self-screening any COVID-related symptoms. If you are experiencing any symptoms, you should not attend the event. Face masks should be worn as you enter the building for any end-of-school event. We also encourage you to social distance as best as possible during these activities. It is awesome that we are able to conduct these end-of-year events, but we want to be able to enjoy them as safely and healthy as possible. Thanks for your understanding and your cooperation.
