Today (May 5) is the final Admissions Visit Day of the year. Many students are visiting. Please make them and their families welcome!

The Middle School play, Cirque du Shakespeare, was a wonderful success! Thanks to Mr. Manson, the cast and crew and all the faculty and staff who helped with the production!

Yearbooks will be delivered on May 16. Until then, cost for this first ever all-color yearbook is $50; after May 16, the cost will be $55. Students may order yearbooks in the School Store.

This weekend's activity is a trip to King's Dominion. Currently, so many students have signed up that Ms. Bower will need to reserve a second charter bus, which will affect the cost of the tip. Ms. Bower will e-mail all students signed up for the trip with final details and cost information. Students should let her know by the end of the day today if they would like to cancel their spots. Students participating in this trip should make sure they have adequate funds in their student accounts.

In keeping with School tradition, Seniors have two dress-down days a week for the rest of the year. Beginning this week, Wednesdays and Fridays will be dress-down days for Seniors.
