We are lucky enough to be starting the work on our new school on September 17th @ 5:00pm…which calls for a party!   We have our ground breaking events on September 17th starting at 5:00 pm.   You will hear from some of our students about why they appreciate having a new school.   There will be pizza to purchase and a magic show for the kids … all this coupled with our first Open House of the season!   Please join us for some fun and encourage your child to write an essay so that he/she can be part of the show!

Remember September 17th…5:00 pm the fun begins!   Oh  and by the way…   thanks to you we are building a new school!

Release Time Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday:  2:25
