These students will be performing this Sunday, November 24th at 3:00 pm at Ramsey High School.
As the temperatures are dropping, please note that students will be outside for lineup and recess if the temperature is above 32 degrees. Please ensure students are dressed appropriately. Ms. Dell'Aquila places a sign on the door each morning indicating an indoor or outdoor lineup. Please note, that we do take into consideration the wind chill factor.
