Expo Night

Expo night is Thursday, April 3.

5:30 - 8:00 PM  You can visit classrooms and view displays of student  
projects, art, writing, technology exhibits and MORE!  In addition  
the music department will present performances throughout the evening.

8:00 - 9:30 PM  The talent show!

5:30 - 7:00 PM  PATSO will provide dinner - a slice of pizza, salad,  
cookie and drink for $5

Don't forget to go by the lost and found to look for that long lost  
sweatshirt or jacket!!

Volunteers Needed!

We need volunteers to help serve the food.  We are asking for  
volunteers to work 30 minute shifts, allowing you plenty of time to  
eat and visit the classrooms with your family as well.  If you can  
help, please email Lori Blumberg (mailto:lgband3 at embarqmail.com)  
which ½ hour block you would like to work.   [Note:  The first shift  
is 5:00 - 5:30 PM because we need a few extra minutes to get things  
set up at the beginning.]

After the dinner is over, PATSO also needs help clearing the tables  
from the cafeteria and setting up the chairs for the talent show.   
This transformation begins at 7:00.  This is a great chance for the  
dads to feel needed!  Please let me know if you are able to help.

Lost and Found

The lost and found bin is full and overflowing with lost lunch boxes  
and clothing.  Mr. Crutchfield is looking for a volunteer to help  
organize these items to display at Expo night so they can find their  
way home!  If you can help please contact Mr. Crutchfield

Henley Benefit Concert

The Henley Jazz Ensemble and Jazz Choir will be performing a benefit  
concert on April 25, at 7:00 PM in the Lane Auditorium in the County  
Office Building.  We are fortunate to have Stephanie Nakasian and Hod  
O'Brien, local professional jazz musicians, performing as our final  
act of the evening.

All proceeds from this concert will go to the Blue Ridge Area Food  
Bank which supplies food to needy families in our community.  Concert  
tickets are $10.00 for an individual ticket and $25.00 for a family  
ticket.  Any additional donations are welcome as all funds collected  
will go to the food bank.

Come out and enjoy an evening of jazz and support a very important  
resource for our community.
