Mr. Franco

Happy Friday to All of You!

Holiday Music Concerts
On Tuesday and Thursday, the beginning, intermediate and advanced bands performed along with our strings and choir. The kids did a

great job. I took my daughter to the Thursday concert and she was very impressed with not only how the students sounded, but also with how they conducted themselves during the concert. Thank you to Dave Sanders and Gwen Gilbertson for their work with our groups.

Winter Formal
The winter formal is tonight at 7 PM. Thank you to Kelly Ceder and Leadership for organizing and to the many staff that will be supervising. Students that did not have any referrals and who had less than 4 tardies are allowed to attend. All proceeds will be in support of our PBIS program. The students are very excited to say the least!

Google Docs
We have collected all of our Google Doc Apps. Thank you to everyone for turning them in and thank you to the staff for helping to collect the forms.
