I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend. The weather was outstanding again!
We are in full Senior season mode and it began with Prom on Friday evening. Our students
looked amazing and everyone had a fantastic evening!
Next up is the Baccalaureate being held for all five SPS high schools @ 2 p.m. on Sunday,
May 5th @ 2nd Baptist Church. More information about this and many other events can be
found at the link below labeled Seniors and Senior parents.
We are in the final stretch as our seniors have 10 school days until May 10th graduation.
Our 9th - 11th graders have 17 days remaining. The final day is Tuesday, May 21st and
we will dismiss at 12:50 p.m.
