Good Afternoon:

I want to share some of the good things that have been happening at Truman:

1) Artwork created by our student, Peace Young, is currently on display in the Capital Building in Washington D.C. and will remain on display for the next year.

2) We celebrated the success of our top 14 students with dinner and a Broadway Show. Teachers who were instrumental in assisting with our Quality Review also took part in this celebration.

3) On May 27th our top twenty 9th and 10th graders will be attending a reception at Queens College.

4) Room 650 is being redesigned into a state of the art kitchen for our culinary program.

5) Congratulations to all the parents who recently received a bundle of joy: Frances Mitchell had a baby girl; Manny Rodriguez’s baby boy; David Martin’s baby girl.

6) Ms. DeSimone’s son will be graduating from George Washington University.

7) Truman will be celebrating Family Day on Saturday, May 17th at 12:00 Noon. Please bring your family and join us for a day of fun.
