Several classrooms were in disarray thanks to leprechauns, as students celebrated St. Patrick’s Day. Desks and chairs were overturned, green footprints were seen in classrooms, and several were caught in closets by teachers. Luckily they were willing to share their treasures with all of the classes thanks to the PTA.

They then did a condensed version of Sleeping Beauty for the students. It was a great assembly. Thanks to Ballet West and USOE for making it possible.
