Have a Happy Easter

2011-04-20T04:47:00.000-07:00

Have a very happy and blessed Easter.

The students are beginning their count down.
Please remind them that school is not over and that they should be "practicing" their study skills in order to be prepared for high school. It is very important that they get off to a good start in high school.

They are wonderful and full of potential. Next year begins a time that will have a great influence on the rest of their lives.

Sincerely,
Gene Murphy

Graduation pictures

2011-01-30T11:49:00.000-08:00

On Friday Jan 28th, each student was given an envelope for graduation group pictures. The cost is $15.00 per picture. The pictures are of the graduation class, all together. One picture is all the students in cap and gowns the other they are in their dress clothes.
These forms should be brought back with a check and selected picture(s) circled on the form on FEB. 11th

For the individual graduation pictures, the students will receive proofs in a few weeks. You may then choose a pose or have retakes at a later date.

Things are moving fast.

Thanks,
