SPRING  CONCERT:  The 6th, 7th and 8th grade choirs will be performing their spring concert on Tuesday, May 29th at Northern High school’s auditorium at 7:00 p.m.  We hope you can join us for a great night of song.  Come and support your friends!  Admission is free.

AWARDS PROGRAM:  Awards Program Dress Code:  Students are reminded that they should “dress up” for the Awards program.  Appropriate dress for boys includes dress slacks with a polo or collared shirt.  Girls should wear dresses or skirts; or dress slacks with a blouse/shirt.  Girls are reminded that they will be walking across the stage and to check the length of dresses or skirts for appropriate coverage.  As usual, the school dress code applies as well. 

Also, students may not leave CHS with parents – they must ride the bus back to WMS.  Please do not schedule a “lunch” out of school as make-up time for missing any class will be added stress to you.

Awards programs are scheduled as follows:

6th Grade:  May 30th at 1:00PM at Central High School Auditorium

7th Grade:  May 30th at 9:30AM at Central High School Auditorium
