  Principal's Note
Parents,
Please join me in congratulating Ms. Aquilina (Band), Mr. Deal (Strings), Ms. Ray (Strings) and Mrs. Crocker (Chorus) for a stellar performance with our spring concert. The students were phenomenal and looked great; they were poised and concert ready. The students only meet once a week to prepare for the spring concert. They are commended for their dedication and hard work! The quality of the sound was impeccable, and we are very proud of them. We look forward to the students continuing playing their instruments and singing as we nurture their musical abilities.
Thank you,
Mr. Eric T. Johnson
Principal
