Spring Music Concert:
Save the Date!
The ALA Spring Concert is coming up and we are trying something new! There will be two performances: Tuesday, May 6 will be for students whose last name begins with any letter from A - L, and Wednesday, May 7 will be for students with last names
beginning with a letter between M - Z.
Two benefits: 1. We should be able to accommodate all our guests inside the cafenasium. 2. If your assigned night doesn't work for you, please come the other night!
