On Wednesday May 1st, our ELL's will perform at Arts Night (6:30-8:30 pm).
Please make every effort to attend and show your support. This will be the public debut of their Voice Out performance - which most will not get to see on May 6 @ St. Elizabeth CHS from 12-3 pm.
As usual, please keep on top of your daily homework and any assignments. It is very easy to get complacent at this time of year.
