The jazz combo of "Cadie and the Ashlands" performed at the State Jazz Festival in Hampden Saturday. They earned a bronze award for an excellent performance. This is the second year that the two schools have combined their talent - even wearing bows that are orange and blue for the school colors. Thank you to Mr. Simonoff and our own Mrs. Diette for helping our musicians experience this level of competition.
We have been seeing a few cars parking in front of the building for drop offs and driving through the bus area to get to the high school. Just a reminder that that lane is off limits to cars from 7:30am to 3:00pm. This makes it safer for students who are crossing the area to get into and out of the building.
Beginner Band Day in Ashland will be cancelled for Wednesday due to expected weather. A new date will be announced soon.
