Dear Parents/Guardians,


Wonderful Musical-
The Little Mermaid Jr. was simply a wonderful musical this weekend!  Numerous people approached me after the show and were blown away that this was a middle school performance.  Mrs. Gray-Roll and Mrs. Richards along with a wonderful support system really guided these very talented kids to a phenomenal production.  These kids are very talented!
