Mr. & Mrs. Merry Christmas Royalty!!! Congratulations to all the winners!
Attention! There was an error on the Christmas Program notes! K-3 students need to wear nice dressy clothes of festive colors instead of cool colors to the program next Thursday. Students also need to bring a flashlight. The songs are on Mrs. Becks youtube. If you type in Twinkle and Shine Mrs. Beck, your child can practice at home! We cannot wait to see everyone at the program next Thursday at 7:00 in the H.S. Gym!!!
