Happy Last Week of School! This is the last chance for students to check out a school-owned instrument for the summer; Message Mr. Pulley if you are interested. All instruments, supplies, and materials should now be cleaned out and taken home. Our students had a great performance at last week’s Spring Concert, and this last newsletter of the year contains the photo album and YouTube link. Have A Great Summer! https://app.smore.com/n/2zpwny

Happy Mother’s Day!

We had a fantastic time at Typhoon Texas on Saturday. We’re now preparing for our final performance of the year this Tuesday at our Spring Concert & Awards Ceremony. Please ensure that all school-owned instruments are returned to school no later than this Friday. Parents can drop them off at the front office during regular school hours if that’s more convenient. If you’d like to check out an instrument over the summer, please send a message to Mr. Pulley via ParentSquare.
