Peter Pan Jr. Performance Date Change
Happy New Year! We have been so happy to see the Peter Pan cast and crew this week!
Over the winter break we identified numerous competing demands on our 6th grade performers, so we have made the decision in collaboration with administration to move our show dates to May 21 and May 22, 2024. Save the date and note we can now offer two evening performances to showcase our students' talents.
