Budget Vote & Chicken BBQ

Dinner is served!!! That’s right, this year our families don’t need to worry about cooking dinner on May 16th. The Class of 2019 is hosting a Chiavetta’s Chicken BBQ in the Elementary café from 3:00 pm – 6:00 pm. Pre-sale meals cost $10 (see any sophomore for tickets), or you can purchase at the door. The meal includes half-chicken, potato salad, macaroni salad & roll. The voting polls will be open from 8am-8pm. Please enter through the aquatic entrance doors at the Elementary School.

High School Band and Choral Assembly @ the Elementary-

The high school band and chorus students will be traveling to the Elementary on May 25th to treat our children to a special school assembly. It is just amazing how talented our Newfane musicians and singers are!
