PICTURES AND REPORTS NUTCRACKER DRAMA FOR THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY 12-12-2019 At 9:30 on Thursday morning, 12-13-2019, Ms. Hartman and a host of older student and staff helpers shepherded students from the 1st-3rd grade communities through a delightful performance of the Nutcracker. Students knew their lines well and they put on a spirited and colorful show. The wonderful performance was a chance to iron out minor technical glitches before the show for family members on Friday, 12-13-2019. Please come and watch the show.  LINK TO 76 PICTURES ALUMINUM TAB COLLECTION Our youngest students are again collecting aluminum tabs for their stewardship project.
