What a busy
Friday! We had a dress rehearsal for our Reading Buddies today. Everyone
did so well! The class was so excited trying on their costumes. We can’t wait for
all of you to be our audience on Thursday, April 18th at 6:30! There is plenty of seating for you to invite your relatives. If you can't make the evening performance, you can join us for the school performance at 9:00 in the morning on April 18th!
