And finally, on the 19th, immediately prior to the student’ End-Of-Camp performance, we will be holding a New Parent Boot Camp in Room E157 in the Performing Arts wing of the High School. The Camp will begin at 4:15 and dismiss at 5:35. There will be a brief presentation on what to expect this season as well as a question and answer session for all those questions you have as a new MB parent! No question will be considered too small…so start writing your list and come to get the answers!

You may pick up your copy

Notaries Needed for Volunteer Fair – SAT MAY 19
During the Volunteer fair, parents will be able to sign their student’s health form in front of a notary. To ensure a short wait time, we are looking for a couple more parents who are notaries and would be able to serve in that capacity during the Volunteer Fair. If you are interested, please contact Lisa Harbour . Thank you!
