Thank you, Parents!
March 23, 2012
We hope that you enjoyed our Exceptional Children's Week Finale! The children thoroughly enjoyed performing and enjoyed practicing as well! Thank you for sending in the super groovy wigs and thanks to Shirley Elisca for donating the hip costumes. Special thanks goes to Alane Massey, Pre-School Ed. teacher, who measured and altered all of the pants so that costumes looked fantastic! We really looked the Geraghty 5!


April 9 - 18
