Hub now open Saturday mornings!
The Hub will now be open on Saturday mornings from 10:00-12:00 for students, parents, and staff to check out and read books. Need a quiet space for homework or study? Want to snuggle with your little one and look at picture books? Come to the Hub from 10:00-12:00!
Main Cast List Displayed at 7:45
The main cast list for the primary production will be displayed outside of the Hub by 7:45 this morning. Primary teachers will receive an email at that time sharing the names and classes of the students. Over 60 kids auditioned but there are only 13 spots! We were really impressed with the quality of the auditions and so proud of the students who were risk-takers.
Please be prepared to support any disappointed students. Sorry and thank you, teachers!
Main cast will meet after school on Wednesday in LGR 1 for their first rehearsal.
