Picture Day, Yearbooks, Karate Tournament and More

  • If you haven't heard yet, picture day was on Tuesday, October 12th.  Every student had their picture taken and parents may order picture packages and/or yearbooks through the end of October.  If you did not receive the order form and announcement, please give us a call at the school (276-3339) so we can get you one.  We are using new people for the pictures and yearbook and we are delighted to see that the pictures and hardcover yearbooks will be the very best quality and very reasonably priced.  Please get your orders in promptly as this supports our school extra activities like field trips and special events.

  • Remember to keep an eye on the school calendar so you will be aware of holidays and events upcoming. 

  • Our picture makeup day is Tuesday, October 26 and if you would like a special picture taken, possibly your student and their teacher or if you have more than one student at the school and you would like a photo with both of them, please let us know and we will try to make that happen on makeup day. 

  • We have an ice cream plant field trip coming up on Wednesday October 20th for all students.  They will make ice cream and of course eat ice cream.   In November we are traveling to the Channel 4 newsroom to learn how the news is produced and broadcast.  Both of these trips will be informative and fun for the students.  Stay tuned for specific dates.

  • During the week of  October 25 thru the 29th, Karate will be moved to Tuesday so our photographers can take some Karate photos for the yearbook.  Karate students please bring your uniforms (remember, no uniform, no karate).

  • And speaking of karate; several of our students competed in a karate open tournament on Saturday October 9th that involved karate students from 6 different studios.  Our students competed well and took many medals.  We are so proud of their efforts.  Robert and Kevin Gines won multiple medals in forms competition, non contact sparring and contact sparring.  Olivia Ayers won awards as well.   Riley Butler competed extremely well and received commendation from Mr. Gary.  Cheryl Doroski (teacher) and Lynne Lenzi (Vice Principal) also competed in the black belt division and performed wonderfully and received medals. Congrats to all who participated. It takes courage to perform under pressure in events like these and is a great learning experience.
