Tulip Time Schedule

It's a busy Tulip Time week ahead.  Wednesday will be an 11:30 dismissal for choir students, while band students will stay and march in the parade.  On Thursday, all students stay for the full day.  They will either march with the band, march with the school, or remain at school for the afternoon.  Dismissal is following the return to school after the parade.  Band students will remain with Mr. Hyvarinen and choir students will stay with me.  If rain postpones the Thursday parade, it will be rescheduled for Friday.  The same procedures will then apply on Friday.  Band students may wear their band uniform to school on Wednesday and Thursday instead of traditional dress code.  Happy Tulip Time! 

Countdown...
