Aladdin was PURE MAGIC!You got some power in your corner now
Some heavy ammunition in your camp
You've got some punch, pizazz, yahoo, and how?
See, all you gotta do is rub that lamp... And I'll say:
"Mr. Aladdin, sir, what will your pleasure be?
Let me take your order, jot it down,
You ain't NEVER had a friend like me!" -Genie
We are so proud of our 49 (!) Aladdin Jr. thespians and stage crew for presenting such a magical musical production!
Special thanks to Director Dawn Childs and to ALL the parent and alumni volunteers who shared their gifts of time, talent, and creativity to bring the set, costumes, and playbill to life. Bravo!

Ash Wednesday All-School ChapelThis Wednesday, February 26, 8:20 a.m., Singleton Gym
We will administer ashes at this service to all students who wish to receive. All children will walk forward with their classmates, though if any students do not wish to receive ashes, they may cross their arms over their chests to receive a simple blessing. Please talk with your child(ren) about your own faith tradition(s) and how that informs your family's choice about how they will participate.
Parents are invited to join us for this Ash Wednesday chapel service or are welcome to attend Ash Wednesday services at St. Michael’s Episcopal Church at noon or 7 p.m. Click HERE for more details and clarity regarding student participation in both upcoming St M Lenten programs: Ash Wednesday on February 26 and the Maundy Thursday Eucharist on April 9.
