MULAN JR. AN OVERNIGHT SUCCESS |
 Mulan Jr. was a smash hit! The cast and crew pulled together a spectacular treat for the entire Village School community. Never before on the Village stage were scary Huns, Chinese maidens, ancestral deities and dragons quite so entertaining! We are already looking forward to next year's production!
Look for Mulan Jr. photos coming soon on the school website!
Free Dress Day for attending Mulan Jr. is Thursday, March 13th. |

FOCUS ON THE ARTS |
This spring, we are hosting our first annual Focus on the Arts, Saturday, April 5, 2008, at 7:00 P.M. Get your tickets early for this fun-filled event involving the choir, band, orchestra, and art students. If you already filled out an order form be sure and turn it in early. Remember, ticket orders are filled on a first come, first served basis.
Order early to get the best seats! |

PARKING ALERT |
 Please take care when parking in front of the school facing west on Westella. Two cars, parked legally, have been hit by Metro Buses. Metro Buses turning right (west) onto Westella from Enclave Parkway are having difficulty clearing the corner. In both recent cases, the car parked nearest to that intersection has been hit. For the safety of your car, we strongly suggest parking beyond the green bicycle sign. |

CARPOOL VOLUNTEERS NEEDED |
The 7:20 A.M. Morning Greeters need your help. We need some new faces for the second half of the school year. It's an easy, fun way to get involved with the school. Some volunteers are stay-at-home parents, while others find this is a great way to volunteer as a working parent, before the workday begins. Please just park your car at 7:15 A.M. or so, walk up and introduce yourself. We can tell you which mornings we need your help. Or, call Nancy Solis at 281-497-2512. Your child gets to be one of the first students in the classroom the mornings you volunteer, and you get to help our students start their day! Take your turn helping and make your child proud! |
| Labels and Box Tops for Education |
|
 
|
Continue to collect those box tops and labels!! The next collection day will be Wednesday, April 2nd.
Middle School Students - Drop off your box tops with the parent volunteer outside of Mrs. Miller's office.
