Last week, our color guard hosted a spin camp for our new members and interested middle school students who signed up to participate. The students learned dance, equipment, and choreography fundamentals while getting to know one another. They had a great time, and it was a fun start to the season! Thank you Coach Padilla and Coach Brady for organizing a great week for our students!
Last Thursday, our percussion also began their weekly Thursday rehearsals for the month of June. They met in sectionals to develop fundamentals and begin working on show music! Thank you to Mr. Nelson, Mr. Videtto, and Mrs. Boyle for spending your time with our students and making getting better fun!

Did you forget to sign-up for the parade?
Dr. Carr is sending in T-Shirt sizes tomorrow (Monday) morning. If you forgot, you can sign-up tonight (Sunday) and stil make it, just in time. If you’re going to be in town, we need you at the parade. Here is the image that will be on the front of the T-Shirts this year. Also, a HUGE thank you to United Community Bank for sponsoring our shirts again this year.
SIGN UP FOR THE PARADE – SUNDAY NIGHT LAST CHANCE
CutTime
They have updated some features in CutTime that I am working on putting to use. Last week, I added the handbook and requested a signature. This should have allowed you to receive the handbook as a PDF and sign that you have seen it. This is the first step in digitizing our forms. This may not affect us this year, but I am hoping that we will be able to begin using more digital forms in the future.
Health Class
eADAP Certificates were due last week, but I understand that many families may have been on vacation. If your child has not completed this task, please prioritize it this week. Also, if your child has not been able to access the course in Edgenuity, please contact me immediately so that I can assist with getting them into the class.
