We are pleased to announce that Mrs. Zimmerman has graciously stepped up to host a Father/Daughter dance this year!  For our families with girls, please mark your calendar for Saturday, May 21st (event will be in the early evening, time TBA).

We also are excited to announce that we have parent volunteers who are organizing a Mother/Daughter Tea (thank you Mrs. Howard) and a Father/Son Event (thank you Mrs. Miller).  Dates on those will be forthcoming.

We did not have a chair for a mother/son event so that event will not be held this year but hopefully we can get it back on the schedule for next year.
