Spring Performance
“Dance to the Music”
on May 21 at 5:30pm in the sanctuary

Fundraiser Event 
Kindergarten and 1st Grade only will be in their classrooms with qualified after school staff during the performance. They will only come in to do their dance and then walk back to class. In their class the after school staff will be playing games, watching a movie, and doing other fun activities. They will have already seen all of the performances earlier that day so they will not be missing any of the performances!
After the entire Spring Performance go to your child’s classroom to pick them up. If you would like to check them out and take them home immediately following your child’s performance, you may do so. Otherwise just pick them up and check them out from their classroom at the end of the show.
You may NOT pick up your child from their classroom and bring them back into the  performance with you. 

In Our Class This Week...

We are getting closer to the end of the school year (the students are in the brother and sister phase), and a few of our kiddos are ready for summer. Please remind them to always try their best and follow all of the rules. It would be great if you could talk to them about keeping their hands to themselves (and their entire body) and of course raising their hand to speak or stand. THANK YOU in advance for working with us on this.
