Important Dates

Dear parents,

A few important dates to remember:

Earth Day is celebrated tomorrow. Students will present classroom flags honoring Earth Day at All School Meeting. They will be placed around the garden following All School Meeting as a symbol of our commitment to environmental stewardship.

Arts and Poetry Night is Thursday from 6:00-8:00 P.M. Please don't miss this spectacular gallery-style display of students' artwork and live poetry readings by upper division students.

The Rummage Sale is in need of volunteers! If you can donate even an hour of your time, it would be greatly appreciated. Help is needed from April 27th - May 4th. This is a huge fundraiser for Friends Academy.

5th Grade Overnight is scheduled for May 14th & 15th. More information to come.
