BRAVO!!!!

A HUGE congrats to the cast and crew of the 5th & 6th Grade musical - Opening Night! We had wonderful performances last week. Our evening shows were packed and the students at WES really enjoyed the afternoon performances. If anyone has a copy of the complete performance (5th or 6th grade), I would love to have one for our archives.

I would like to thank Mrs. Trott for a wonderful Greased Lightning car - won by Adrian Reim. I also would like to thank Alex and Jodi Brohard for an incredible Snoopy doghouse and many parents for awesome costumes and additional props. Thank you to Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Rowaldt, and Mrs. Sczesny for their debut performances in the show.

Choir has concluded for the year however the 6th graders will be working on a song for our 6th grade celebration assembly in June. In May, I will meet with students who are interested in choir for next year. We will have a few practices so students get an idea of what choir is all about!
