Lots of Activity this Week!

It was School Picture Week, so each day a different school was having their pictures taken. There were One Act Play Auditions. We held a Meet-n-Greet with Debbie and J.P. that was well attended. Then last night students were inducted into the Thespian Society, today the entire Middle School took a field trip and our Lower School parents were our guest for L'il Mustangs Mini Day this morning. It's Booster Pizza Friday, and there have been Soccer, Volleyball and Bowling games through the week.
 
Whew! It's a good thing we get a really long weekend. :)  It is almost September and we are looking at a great sunny weekend ahead. You won't want to forget that there are no classes on Monday and Tuesday, we will see you on Wednesday!
