As May is approaching quickly I wanted to remind everyone of some important upcoming events. Our field trip to Lake Tobias is scheduled for May 12. We have a rain date of May 19. A detailed letter will be coming home several days before the trip with specifics. Graduation is going to be May 25 at 6:30 p.m. in the NSHS auditorium. We have begun practicing our songs and the students are sure to put on a wonderful program. School carnival is scheduled for May 24. If you have not done so, please return the form indicating whether or not your child will be ordering the school lunch that day or bringing in their own.
Monday will be day 1 in our six day cycle. Our special class will be library class.
Have a wonderful weekend!
