April 2017

PARADISE HAS A LOT OF TALENT! The talent show was held on Friday, April 7th. We had 39 students participate in 20 different acts as well as stage crew and announcing. Thank you to all the students for sharing your talent! A special thank you to Joanne Nosoff for organizing and running the show. Also, a super special thank you to all the parents who volunteered their time to help during practices! We also want to thank some of the members of the high school National Honor Society for helping with some of the practices as well. We couldn’t do these things without all of you!

LAPS FOR LEARNING Donation letters have been sent out and we anticipate the donations to start rolling in soon. Letters will be sent home with your student for you to make a donation as well. Remember, great prizes will be given out for the top money earners and top lap runners. If we meet our goal Dr. Holtzapple could be getting a little wet! Your participation is key to this fundraiser’s success. If you have interest in helping that day please e-mail Nikki Myers.

SPRING BOOK FAIR The spring book fair will be held on Thursday, May 4th during the curriculum fair. Our teachers will be creating wish lists of books they would love for their classrooms. As you come to the book fair that night you will have the option of buying a book or 2 for your teachers. This is a fun way to tell your teacher they are appreciated! Cash and credit cards will be accepted at the fair. If you’d like to help that night, please contact Jess Neal.

SPRING SPREE You do NOT want to miss it. Carnival games, good food, dunk tank, bounce house, photo booth, Kona Ice and so much more. Plan on being there with your whole family!!! Friday May 19th, 5-7:30pm. If you’d like to help that day please contact Jessie Henning.
