Talent show!!!

Talent show!!!
The annual end-of-the-year talent show was a giant success! All of the acts were wonderful! From the singing and dancing to the piano playing to the skits to Weebee the Elk, it was all amazing! Especially at the end, when Michael and Cody danced their dance, and the fifth graders did the cha-cha slide and cupid shuffle. It got everybody happy, concluding to say everyone loved it, including those who were not in the show!

Salad Bar
The Edgy Veggie salad bar has come to Driscoll! It arrived on April 11, 2011. It has been a huge hit.If you look at the pictures you will see how long the line is every day. Many people tried it on the first day and loved it. The biggest problem is going through the line to get it! The S.N.A.C.K. team members are working really hard to keep it up. We really hope you try it soon because it will only be here until April 25, 2011!
