9/30 Open House and Community Dinner


House A teachers would like to welcome all parents and guardians to our Open House this Monday, September 30, from 6:00-7:30pm.  This event will take place in the House A classrooms (rooms 241-243, & 239) upstairs in the Middle School.  The district will be running a shuttle from the high school to Herrick Ave. school for overflow parking.  We encourage folks to use this service if the parking lot is full.  The last shuttle will leave at 7:45pm.  We look forward to opening up our classrooms and seeing everyone there!

There will also be a community dinner happening downstairs in the MMS cafeteria from 4:30-7:00pm.  The event is free but donations are welcome and greatly appreciated!
