Holiday Concert

What to wear

Students should wear nice clothes in the evening. Something dressy or festive is great! Please no head accessories such as Santa hats or reindeer antlers as they obstruct the audience’s view of students behind your child. There will be a dress rehearsal during the day, but fancy clothes are not required during the day.

Performances

The school office will organize evening tickets for the Sagebrush theatre. Seats are limited. Those who cannot come in the evening may come in the afternoon for the school’s final dress rehearsal in the gym.

Christmas Wish List

If you are cleaning out your home, we are looking for some gently used items for the classroom:

• Hand towels/ tea towels to dry hands. (We have some we change daily or twice a day to save some trees. The ones we have are getting quite worn. Paper towel is always available as well).
• Connect 4
• Uno
• Spot It
• We do not have much space on our shelves for games, but could use the ones above. We also have Lego and Plus Plus bins if you wish to add to our supplies. If you have another game that you think would be good, let me know and I can see if we would have space for it/ a need for it.

Volunteer Work

If anyone has any time, I would love some help. Home reading books get worn over time, and if someone could cover them with mack tack to protect them for longer, it would be much appreciated. I have the mack tack, and you could take some books home to cover at your leisure. Let me know if anyone is interested, before or after the holidays. Thanks!
