Fine Arts

March and April have had many great opportunities for our fine arts departments to show off their talents!

Our Coffee House Concert was excellent as our band and Chorus did selections from famous movies.  The music was great and you could really tell the students had fun with their pieces!

The Speech Showcase was great entertainment as our students Pigged Out!  My two little girls still randomly shout out "I don't like Ham!" from time to time.  It was a very fun night!

The drama department took us back into the sixties last weekend with "Groovy!" It was a great show and the kids did a fabulous job!  The live music was a great addition to our program this year!

The band and chorus had their small group competitions this weekend.  I do not have results, but will post them when I do.  Great job guys!

Congratulations to all of our fine arts performers!

Foreman

In case you had not heard Mrs. Schoenwetter got a new addition to her class this year.  Foreman is a Ball Python Snake and resides in Mrs. Schoenwetter's classroom.  The students have really enjoyed working with him. He is kept in a locked cage when he is not working with students.

As I stopped in class this week, Mark Roth was hanging out with Foreman so I snapped a picture.

Parent Involvement Opportunities

Parents,

We have two up coming parent involvement opportunities. 

Our High School Parent Advisory group will meet on Wednesday night from 5:15 - 6:15 in the high school library.  As a reminder, this is a chance for parents to find out what is happening in the high school and ask questions about anything regarding the high school.  Even if you have not attended one of these meetings before, don't be afraid to come to this one!

Parent teacher conferences will be on March 12th and 14th from 4:00 - 7:45 pm.  This is a great chance to meet with your child's teachers and see what is happening in their classes.  Please mark your calendars for this date.

Have a great weekend!

Mr. Recker
