If students are missing their white, yellow, or red stripes at this point, parents/students may want to schedule a private lesson with the front desk. Please remember that today and tomorrow, we will be having our bake sale in order to raise money for our bus to the King of the Hill tournament, which only two weeks away (May 17th).
