Middle School Art
Exhibition: A
brilliant display of our middle school student’s art work was on display this
week. I was so inspired by the variety of art forms and skills that students
have learned during the course of the year. Congratulations to our talented
students and to Mr. Joel and Ms. Cailin on a successful art show!

Our spring middle school music concert was a
wonderful success. I am always so impressed by the talents of our students. Their hard work
and effort over the year definitely showed. They have every reason to be proud
of their performances. Thank you to Ms. Diane, Mr. William and Mr. Cary for all
that they have done and in providing this showcase for the students. A special
thank you to the combined choir for the parting song – it was very special.
Please see photos from the event located in the photo album in the right-hand
