Congratulations to our Middle School Chorus which received an overall Superior rating at the District Choral Festival yesterday in Tallassee.  Our group is now headed to the State Festival in Birmingham in April.  Not only did our kids sing beautifully, but their behavior was absolutely fantastic.  I was extremely proud to be associated with such a fine group of kids.

Thanks to the parents who took time to give blood during our annual blood drive today.  As soon as the results of our little competition are announced (see post below) I will pass those on to you.

Congratulations to Mrs. Pirtle's 7th period English class (above) for winning a competition between classes to see who could be "The Best" in the 8th grade.  Criteria included turning in homework, having supplies for class, and being on the very best of behavior.  Way to go!

Mrs. Kirtland recently allowed the 6th grade classes to get "up close and personal" with a real octopus.  As you can see, the students were, at the same time, interested and a little "grossed out!"  Let's just say it made for and interesting end to the day for this group of kids!


Be sure to congratulate your kids on a great 3rd Nine Weeks.  It is hard to believe that we have wrapped up 75% of this school year!  I hope you and your family enjoy a wonderful, fun-filled Spring Break!

Here are the tests currently on the docket for the week after Spring Break:

7th Grade:

Friday - Math 7/Pre-Algebra

Take care, and be careful!
