A reminder to students currently in grade 7 to state their Fine Arts choices for the 2013-2014 school year.  A Fine Arts course selection form has gone home with students and needs to be returned to the MS office by May8th. It is important to note that while every effort will be made to give students their preference, scheduling may in some instances prevent this from being possible.

May 10 at 4:00 pm. Students will be assigned to a trip based on a lottery system.
