·      Make plans now to attend our PTSA’s bingo night and dinner on Tuesday, April 8.  Light dinner snack (probably a Moe’s jr burrito, chips and salsa) will be provided, your family can make a donation towards the food.  Then its bingo with fun prizes geared for different ages – like iTunes cards for you guys!  Dinner starts at 6:00 and Bingo will start around 7:00.  Come out and bring your family!

·      This Saturday come back to the World’s Fair Park, pay $2 and watch our Llama race around the track!  Proceeds benefit our school and programs to build schools in Bolivia.  Our llama’s name is Blackfoot.  Come see how our team has “dressed” him to race!  THEN make your way over to Market Square to see our students’ art work in the Dogwood Chalk Walk.  No cost to view the art on the square.
