Our Lyra and Aquarius concert will happen as planned today! The parking lot at Temple Beth Shalom has been plowed and treated. They will be treating it again this afternoon.
In order to be extra safe, we ask that all students and patrons enter at the school entrance (left entrance when in the parking lot and facing the building). You can drop students and patrons off at the door and then park. Please allow extra time for your travel.
