Dear Iroquois Family,

Good afternoon, here is important information for the week of April 17th.

High School

This year, the High School musical was a spectacular performance of SpongeBob.  As a result, multiple aspects of the performance are under consideration to be nominated for a Kenny Award.  Shea’s Theater will be livestreaming the Kenny Award Nomination Ceremony tonight, April 17^th at 7 p.m.  It can be watched on Shea’s Arts and Engagement Facebook page.  Good luck to the cast and crew.
