DEAR YOUNGER ME ASSEMBLY--APRIL 30
Students will need to report to their 4th hour class first and attend the assembly with their 4th hour. I will introduce the presentation once everyone is seated. After the performance, the performers will be introducing themselves onstage. There will then be sign-up sheets for our students if they are interested in being a part of something like this at our school next year. We are considering creating an Alpena Team to provide this same service to our area high schools in Northern Michigan.
