CS PTO Update
Dear Country School families,
Hope everyone had a great long weekend! It was a short, but busy week at Country School. We want to send a big shout out to our 3rd Grade Orchestra students. They did a fantastic job at String Fling. We look forward to hearing the 3rd grade chorus this week at Spring Sing!
We are in need of lunch monitors this week. Please sign up!
Below you will also find information about the Fractal Fair and the Science & Technology/Engineering Forum that are both occurring this week.
Have a great week!
