GRADE 9 FAREWELL | June 9th @ Heritage Park

This is a special evening for them to celebrate their accomplishments, and we expect them to represent themselves, their school, and their families with pride. Additionally, please remind your child to be respectful to parent volunteers and teachers who are generously giving up their evening to make this event possible.
