LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION!
April 05, 2013

The stage is set and the Shoemaker talent scouts are searching for talented students to perform in our annual talent show! The talent show is open to all students in kindergarten through fifth grades. Later in the spring, each grade level will produce its own talent show for the students in that particular grade. From these separate grade level talent shows, select acts will be chosen to perform at an all-school assembly at the end of the year. Dates and audition information for each grade will be sent home later in the spring.
Due to the size of our school we must limit the number of acts. To help us prepare for the talent shows, we would like to survey our students to see who is interested in performing.

MILE CLUB NEWS

In Mile Club news…
It’s been a long winter, but it's finally time for
the students to trade in their snow boots for their
walking shoes!
We're expecting the kids will be able to get back
on the track the week of 4/8. Hope for warm, dry
weather so we can keep adding up those miles
while getting more fit (we went over 1,000 miles
in the fall!).
