Our kids are performing at 9:40 this evening. Go to YouTube on your phone or Home computer and search Homestead Classic. The video feed can be found there! Go. knight Lights!!

We have no tissues left in the classroom. If you could send in a box or two we’d be so appreciative. We’re having a sniffy crisis here!

Here’s a few more pictures of all of those Gold Medal Winners showing off their shiny hardware! Great job to all of our talented singers!

This last weekend we had a group of students go to Fairfield High School for ISSMA Solo and Ensemble Contest. What a day we had! Our kids really wowed the judges in their poise, vocal skills, and overall performances. We took about 60 students and walked away with about 60 Gold Medals. Not one student received a 2nd place silver medal. Yes you read that right! Not one!

Aprons, lunch detention slips will be found in the cafeteria concession stand. Cafeteria Rules are sit and stay seated in their chair. They do not get up for any reason until the horn is blown. When the horn blows students get up and throw their trash. They are to return to their table and raise their hands to have you check the floor, chairs, and table for their group. You can dismiss them at that time. Please use lunch detention forms for any one who is misbehaving or is very sloppy with their food. Leave the detention slips in the concession stand area. The tables must be washed. Then 6th grade boys will put the chairs up on the table for you to sweep the floor. Chairs need put down. Feel free to grab some extra volunteers 🙂
