Congratulations to our third-grade students for their wonderful performance in their winter concert, “Dreamers”, this past week. Their inspirational performance provided us with an uplifting message to start 2026! They should be proud of themselves. Thank you to Mr. Cosman and all of the teachers for helping them prepare for the show!
Message from Mr. Cosman regarding this week’s school musical rehearsals: Check out the updated January Calendar for the upcoming musical rehearsal schedule. Students should enter via the gym doors. Please wait in your car until someone opens the doors at 8:15. Contact Mr. Cosman if you have any questions, or refer to his email.
