Parents, you guys are so awesome.  I have ice cream, cokes, and cups donated.   Some have sent money to help as well.  Thank you so much.  6th graders rock!(and their parents)

I will send a note reminding you of your items the week of the party!

I am encouraging all students to wear 50’s attire that day.  Please make this simple.  Jeans and a white t-shirt are perfect!  If you already have a poodle skirt or black leather jacket, go for it!!!  It will be a fun last day of music!
