On Nov. 6,7 and 8, 2009, the Curtain Call Drama Club gave three performances of Joseph Kesselring's /Arsenic and Old Lace/.   A lot of new faces were on stage this year. The performances were well attended and very enjoyable.  Included are photos  from our last dress rehearsal.

Dear Parent(s),

The scheduled two-hour delays for this school year have been canceled. These dates were originally scheduled for September 25th and January 15th.

Please be advised that we will start school at the regular time on those dates.

 Thanks for a great start to another school year! Our students accomplish great things year after year especially in the areas of their achievement and personal growth. I'm certain 2009-2010 will be no different!

 Sincerely,

Steve Larcomb
