Calendar changes Please note that the last day of school is now Wednesday, June 12. There is no school on May 8th for a Day of Action for school funding. Such Stuff, the spring Drama production, will open on May 15th with shows at 6:00 pm on the 15th, 16th and 17th and one matinee at 2:00 pm on Saturday, May 18th. Note new dates for promotion and the 8th-grade trip.
Dance Concert tickets are still available for today. Advance purchase is recommended as these shows do sell out. The online ticket site will close 2 hours before each show and there will be 100 tickets at the door available. Get your tickets on Arts People.
Volunteers still needed for the Dance Concerts! It’s not too late. We are still short volunteers to help with the last two shows today. Please sign up if you can take a shift in the green room or upstairs. The show last night was amazing, but there is a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes to make that happen. Can you help? Sign up on SignUpGenius.
PTA News
PTSA Meeting and officers needed for next year May 1st at 7 pm in the library is the next PTSA meeting. We will need a quorum of member/voters to consider some additional funding requests so please come if you can. We are also searching for some new leaders to emerge for the board next year. If you are curious about what this entails, please come to the meeting or contact Sheli for more information.
Teacher Appreciation Week is coming up, May 6 - 10 Can you help lead the effort for a teacher luncheon during the week of May 6th? Or offer to bring in treats for teachers in the mornings? Sign up on Sign Up Genius.
Supplies- We are going through a ridiculous number of pencils! PLEASE- make sure your student is coming to school with sharpened pencils and the supplies they need for the day. Teachers do not have time to sharpen hundreds of pencils a day. If you can donate sharpened pencils, we can use them. With allergy season, we are also going through a lot of tissues. Donations of tissues are always appreciated.
Yearbooks Pre-order yours now on School Pay For $20 you can now reserve your copy of the da Vinci Yearbook. Yearbooks are distributed on the last day of school. Please use this School Pay link.
