We started off the week with an amazing peak moment viewing the solar eclipse as a whole school! We look forward to seeing everyone tonight at Japanese Culture Night!
Our Staff highlight this week is Mrs. Varney. We hope you enjoy reading all about Mrs. Varney’s classes!
A reminder that Dooley’s Celebrate Reading and Writing Night is April 24th from 5:00-6:30pm.
During April, information about enrolling for band (trombone, trumpet, clarinet, flute) and orchestra (cello, viola, or violin) is being distributed to fourth-grade students. Parents and students are invited to attend one of the enrollment meetings listed below, where the instruments will be demonstrated and more information will be available. Parents and students should try to attend the meeting at their neighborhood junior high, but can attend whichever meeting works best:
Mead Junior High – Monday, April 22 (7:00 pm)

No previous music experience is necessary to play an instrument. Band and orchestra lessons will start at the beginning of next school year. If you have any questions, please visit the Instrumental Music Enrollment page (sd54.org/instrumentenrollment) or contact the band or orchestra teacher at your school.
