MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL SIERPINA
I just want to remind everyone that there is No School on Monday due to Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Also, if you are dropping off your student before school, please drop off your student by the side entrance (on the football field side of the building). Thank you and I hope you all have a great long weekend.

This adaptation of the classic novel by Ken Kesey will make you laugh and cry. Follow along as Randle P. McMurphy serves out his short criminal sentence in a mental institution, clashing with Nurse Ratched and revolutionizing the other patients of the ward. Showtimes are 7 P.M. on November 1st, and 2 and 7 P.M. on November 2.
