7th grade Quality Night- 5/19
A reminder that 7th grade Quality Night approaches on Thursday, 5/19 at 6 pm. Attendance is mandatory for all seventh graders as a promotion requirement as students get important practice in formal presentation as well as feedback, leading up to their 8th grade jury presentation. |
Eighth Grade Semi-Formal
The annual 8th grade semi-formal dance will be held on Saturday, May 21st at the school from 7:00- 10:00 PM. This is always a fun night, and we are hoping to have 100% student participation. We want to be sure that students understand how this dance is different from a formal event, like a prom. Boys may opt to wear a collared dress shirt and dress pants. Tuxedos are not permitted. Girls may opt to wear a simple party dress. Long gowns, short mini-dresses or other revealing dresses are not permitted. Limousines are not permitted. Invitations with a ticket order form were distributed recently. Please bring ticket order forms and payment to the main office and make sure the student’s name is on the envelope. |

Costumes Needed
When Martha McLure retired last year from her position as Social Studies teacher extraordinaire, we lost more than a beloved, colorful and charismatic teacher, we lost our Romeo and Juliet wardrobe of costumes that she generously shared with us year after year. These costumes helped our ELA students truly adopt the characters they were portraying. If you have any of the following lying around your house, unused, unwanted - please consider donating them to the ELA 7/8 Team. Any donations can be brought in to teachers Samantha Pererya, Joe Pisco, and/or Peggy Stephens-North. Medieval Clothing Crowns Capes Gowns Hats Friar robes Masquerade Masks Costume Jewelry Fur collars (preferably fake) and of course - a large trunk in which to store these items |
