Week of October 20

Join us for Dragon Dash this Friday!

From Mrs. McArthur…

Every year we honor veterans with a special performance and recognition. Third grade students will perform on November 11 at 8:30 am and 6:00 pm. Veterans are welcome to attend either performance and we would like to recognize any veterans that are in attendance.

Here is a link to the Veteran RSVP form - http://ouesmusic.weebly.com/veterans-day-rsvp.html.

A PowerPoint will show at the beginning and end of the performance. We would love for you to submit pictures of veterans from your family. Even if you have submitted a picture in the past, please submit again this year as we are trying to update and refresh our information.

Here is a link to the slide submission form and information - http://ouesmusic.weebly.com/veterans-day-slide-show-submission-form.html.
