It is getting dark out earlier so when picking up your child you need to come to the door or pop your head out and wave. We need to see you before students leave the building. With the colder weather, we will not be standing with the door wide open in the mornings, so please text when at the door. We will open the door when we see your child. Thanks Kim

Dear Parents & Guardians,
I am very excited to announce that the P.M.L. program is trying something new this year, in the form of Lunch Hour mini recitals & masterclasses.
These mini recitals will be happening once a month and are designed to offer our talented students more opportunities for performance throughout the school year. They are meant to be informal and fun, a wonderful chance for our students to watch, learn from, and inspire one another. Students will eat their lunch during the recital.
Our first recital is scheduled for Tuesday, November 15th from 11:35-12:30 on the third floor BASC area. School staff, students, parents, and guardians are invited to attend.
We are all looking forward to this new opportunity and the musical growth it will provide.
Kind regards,
Mrs. Gregorchuk

God of hope, you gave us the wonderful power to choose.
It is within our power to choose peace and not war,
To choose friendship and not fighting,
To choose love and not hatred.
We pray for your guidance to help us choose to become a people of peace. Amen
