Congratulations to the seventh and eighth grade band for their excellent ratings at their evaluations festival recently. Very impressive, Panthers!
Just a reminder that tomorrow, Wednesday, March 12th is a half day of school.
Thank you!
Students from Hesperia Community Schools performed the musical “James and the Giant Peach” three times over the weekend. Director, Nancy Blount, is very proud of these students and thankful for the adults in our community who volunteered to help make this, our 14th show, a true success.
Mr. Naples' class visited the Oceana County Building in Hart to offer coffee, hot chocolate, and tea as a little Friday pick-me-up! This gave students the opportunity to interact positively with members of our local community, government, and sheriff's department!
The 320 Crew did so well serving up refreshments as well as laughs and smiles! It was a wonderful way to apply all of the communication and functional life-skills we have been developing related to future employment and independent living!
