Water main break make-up day & Scouting

It was decided at our faculty meeting today that we will make up our missed day on February 18th for students and teachers.  Please make adjustments to your calendar.  Joan will be sending out an e-mail to all of our parents shortly.

Also, we are in desperate need of Girl Scout leaders for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades (contact Rita Cooper) and we need Cub Scout and Boy Scouts to come back to Bruno.  If interested, contact Ms. Theresa for Boy Scouts.
