As we roll into April many of the end of the year activities begin. There are banquets, concerts, and award programs. With the academic "S" awards on the horizon please remember the submission deadline of April 13. I sent out an email earlier this week with the information. If you have any questions please come visit.
I would also like to take an opportunity to recognize the great job the staff has done during the first round of testing. For those who have never organized testing it is a daunting and stressful task. We are extremely fortunate to have Ms. Webb. She has worked countless hours to organize, proof, and just all around organize a smooth week. Thanks everyone!
