A big thank you to Mr. Brenner for coordinating and organizing a wonderful musical event yesterday with Tony Vacca. Tony has come here many times, and each year, students always respond positively about his visit. Students, it was great to see you participate in workshops and the performance, too. And the audiences were both excellent. Students, we are proud of you, and thank you, Mr. Brenner.

Students, we’d like to continue with our sign- ups for the Start With Hello Kindness Club. If you are interested in being part of such a club which does activities to spread kindness, please sign up in guidance. We know quite a few people signed up last week on the lobby white board, and we will transfer those names. We’d like to keep the sign ups going, so please stop into guidance to join this very exciting group!
