There was a terrific turnout on Thursday evening. Thank you everyone who was able to attend! We love hosting and interacting with our families. For those who were unable to make it, we will be mailing home the documents that were distributed.

Holiday Concert Fundraiser

I am excited to announce that there will be a Holiday Concert held at the Auditorium in the former Gratz College building on November 30. It is being organized by Ms. Bernice Goll in honor of the late Mr. Mark Linkins. The proceeds and donations will go to Wyncote Academy. In addition to being a great man, Mr. Mark was a fantastic musician, composer, and conductor. His music and holiday classics will be celebrated. As more details and ticket information becomes available, I will be sharing it with you.
