•••• Updates for 3 APRIL 2013 ••••
 
NOON DISMISSAL ON FRIDAY
Back in January, we made this change within our calendar.  We need to be able to still meet in a faculty and have more time to then prep for the Blue & Gold Dinner.
 
BLUE & GOLD DINNER!:  It’s this Friday, 5 April 2013, 6:30 p.m. Parents, don’t miss out on this fun event! 
As of this letter, we have 230 paid attendees.  We can still handle a few more, but we have stopped the on-line sales.  Call the school to reserve another seat and then pay at the door.  Remember the attire is casual!
 
We are please to announce the return of the diamond pendant raffle, courtesy of Americus Diamond!  Bring your $20 (or more) to purchase a ticket that evening
– Call the school if you would like to buy even if you are not able to attend!
 
The silent and live auction items are fantastic --  be ready to bid!
 
Here is a short list of the items, with a few more additions likely:
 
LIVE AUCTION ITEMS!!!!
• Freshman "Bon Appetit" Basket
• Deer Creek Camp - One-Week Camp Registration

Summer Programs:  The summer schedule is on the web site now!  Check out the plans for summer classes and clinics!
 
Work Day:  On Thursday, 25 April 2013, we will have our second annual service day.  We have two large projects already, and are looking for two more.  If you have any suggestions or contacts, please let Mr. Iliff know.
 
ALSO, we will need parent help that day!  Can you spare part or all of the day?  We are going to do some projects on campus as well.  Contact Mr. Iliff if you can help.
