84 Hour Film Challenge
Some ESUMS high school students will be working on the CT Student Film Festival 84-hour film challenge this weekend. Good luck to the participants!
Middle School Dance April 4
That Middle School Dance is sneaking up on us: it's NEXT Friday! The PTO asks parents to donate snacks, to volunteer as chaperones or set-up/clean-up, and to remind their children to buy tickets. Please contact dlcobbs-lomax@att.net with questions or to volunteer.
A snack donation sheet is here; please add your name or email if you don't see it. We could use drink mix powder (rather than plastic bottles or jugs; we have those big PTO water coolers). If you wish to donate cups, many smaller paper cups are better than the big plastic ones. And of course, baked goods, pretzels, chips, fruit, candy, bagels and sandwiches are always welcome. Thank you in advance!
