Good afternoon Northeast Family and Friends. Here is our Northeast “Shout Out” for the week of March 8th. First, we remind everyone that we have lost an hour of sleep last evening with Daylight Savings, so remember to have set your clocks an hour ahead. It is always nice to have that extra daylight after school, but please remember that homework still is given and our children do not want to put off doing their homework too late into the evening. This week we do have an early dismissal on Wednesday for teacher in- service. Also, this week is a busy week for our Northeast Band and our Band Parents. After just hosting our own Jazz Festival this past Friday, this week our parents follow our Jazz Band who will be playing in Broughal’s Jazz Festival this Friday. Not to leave anyone out, we then have our Marching Band play on Saturday in the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade of Shamrocks. The parade begins at 1 p.m. starting at 10th and Broad and then proceeds down Main Street in downtown Bethlehem.
In sports, this week our softball and soccer teams are beginning the arduous task of constructing line-ups from our tryouts. This is always an extremely difficult task, because we truly want all children to enjoy being involved in whatever they choose. We commend all of the students that are trying out, and wish our student athletes the best whether it be on the field or in the classroom. Finally, this week Mr. Bailey, Liberty’s Principal, will be visiting our 8th grade classrooms on Friday for some circle time.
Have a great remainder to your weekend.
