We are excited to be hosting our Family Night Magic Show tonight! The event will start at 6:00 pm. A thank you goes out to our PTO for sponsoring. We wanted to share some information before arriving. Doors will open at 5:30 and close at 6:00. Door S2 will remain open for late arrivals. You may sit in the bleachers or chairs on the gym floor. The presenter has asked that students/children sit with their parents in the bleachers or chairs. Food and drinks will be sold by PTO but no food or drinks will be allowed onto the gym floor. So please plan your seating accordingly before you arrive. Thank you for your assistance in making this a fun family event at school.
