WEEKLY MORNING ANNOUNCEMENTS:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR 8TH GRADE PARENTS
Our Class of 2027 8th grade students will be celebrating their middle school completion with a field trip to Urban Air on Monday, June 12 and the Booster Club needs parent volunteers to chaperone the event. We will be forced to cancel the event if we don't have enough parent volunteers so we strongly encourage you to consider making it a memorable day for our 8th graders by volunteering your time.
To volunteer, please complete this form: 8th Grade Trip Volunteer Form
