Parents, there has been a change in our UIL event! Students competing will be able to travel to Mt. Vernon and compete at the district level. This is a great opportunity for our students! New forms were sent home today. Please resign the form and send it back even if you signed the original UIL form. (If you missed the last deadline and would like to sign your student up, now is your chance!!!!) Please send the new UPDATED UIL form to your child’s teacher soon. Practice starts next week! The remind codes remained the same. Thank you for understanding and THANK YOU for always supporting your student through school events. 🧡 Mrs. Shine
