Announcements for Friday, November 22, 2024

Dear Parents, Guardians and Staff, 

The Baldwinsville Theater Arts Program's Junior Musical production of Dear Edwina Jr., opens at 7 p.m. tonight. All district third graders received a sneak peek of the musical this morning and they gave the show rave reviews. I’m looking forward to attending opening night. There are still tickets available to reserve on the BTAP website. Tickets are available at no cost to the public.  There are three showtimes: 7 p.m. tonight, and 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday.

Next week is a short week for our students. Tuesday is a reduced day for PreK-5th Grade students. There is no school for all students on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for Thanksgiving Break. I hope everyone is able to enjoy the holiday with family, friends and loved ones. 

This is the time of year when we reflect on the things we are grateful for and I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to our teachers and staff members for going above and beyond every day for our students. Thank you to our parents and families for supporting us and working with us to ensure the success and well being of our students. Go Bees! 

I have a few announcements to share with you today:
