We are having a great St. Patrick's Day.
Our 5th graders had so much fun at Pi Day on Tuesday!
Mr. Martin's 6th-grade theater students created their own play festival this week. The students performed in our 6th Grade One Act Play Festival! It was a wonderful event and a great way to end the 3rd quarter. Bravo to our 6th-grade theater students!
Pi Day was celebrated on March 14, 2023. Pi Day is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant π. Our 5th graders had a lot of fun with special pi math activities while also enjoying lots of pie!
Our PTSA sold Crawfish Boil tickets and t-shirts this morning during morning carpool. Don't worry if you missed today's sale! They will sell tickets and t-shirts at dismissal tomorrow (Friday, March 17th).
The 6th grade field trip to the World War II museum was a success!
Congratulations to our Prides of the Week and our Leader of the Pack - Ms. Goodwin!

Our 6th-grade students are performing one-act plays in Mr. Martin's theater classes this week. To show their support, our 7th-grade students created signs and posters for their plays. We love how our students support each other!
Ms. Brown's class decorated their door for Black History Month. They spotlighted multiple important African American figures in history.

FREE tickets available for any Willow student to attend New Orleans Opera's production of Puccini’s Madame Butterfly
Wednesday, March 22, 6:30 - 9:30 pm
Mahalia Jackson Theater
New Orleans Opera has engaged a creative team who will tell this story from both a female perspective as well as from the viewpoint of those of Asian heritage living in a white, European culture. Director Aria Umezawa and conductor Judith Yan will permit a fresh interpretation of this story – one that retains all of the grandeur of the original opera while presenting a more thoughtful storytelling practice, rejecting the racial stereotypes inherent in the work. The ending will be startling to those familiar with the classic presentation – one where Butterfly is able to finally determine her own destiny rather than be manipulated again and again by those who have controlled her choices.
