2) March 7th is our next school dance. In the spirit of “March Madness” we will have a 3 on 3 basketball tournament if we have enough teams sign up. There will be a boys and girls bracket, and if enough teams sign-up we will have grade level tournaments. Entry fee per team is $1.00. Sign-up in Mr. Hatcher’s office, now until March 6th. Teacher 3 on 3 teams are welcomed and encouraged. There will also be, a DJ for dancing, face painting, pizza and other treats, karaoke, and possibly a Connect-4 tournament for prizes.
