High School Students: Mid Term permission forms were sent home in 2nd period on Thursday, Dec 5th. These forms are due Wednesday, Dec. 11th. These forms are required if you want to leave after taking midterms. WE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING PHONE CALLS, TEXTS, OR EMAILS THE WEEK OF MIDTERMS.
11th and 12th grade Mid-State Orchestra auditions were held this weekend, and we'd like to congratulate Michael Sowell, Isabella Reish, and Isabelle Hamby for being accepted into the Mid-State Orchestra. Isabella and Isabelle also ranked within the top of their sections and will thus be invited to participate in the All-State Orchestra this Spring. This is the highest honor a high school student musician can receive, and we are very proud of their achievement.
Auditions for the high school musical, 9 to 5, will be Dec. 11th and 12th! Those interested in auditioning please see Miss Andersen for an audition packet.
