Friday Update
Good afternoon! I hope you all had a fantastic long weekend and enjoyed the beautiful weather! By the looks of things, this weekend will be equally beautiful! We had a great week and the students LOVED the beauty and beast performance on Thursday. It was fun to see Mrs. Derksen’s daughter Nyla on stage as she and the cast did such an amazing job! Below is some information on the Spring Sing and some other important dates. The spelling list is also down below and the words will be posted on Spelling City.
Spring Sing
Here is the information from our music teachers:
Hello parents,
Our annual Spring Sing concert is this Monday, May 29th, at 7 PM. Students need to be in their classrooms at 6:40 in order to line up and be seated with their classes. The dress code is black and white or a combination of the two (not grey), with casual bottoms, such as blue jeans. Any shoe is fine, but please no shorts or short skirts. I would prefer that the students not have any large logos or characters on their shirts, and if you are unsure of what to have them wear, the uniform shirt is a good option.
I would like to encourage you to come out to this event. As a mom of two busy kids, I am all too aware that the pressure to keep up with events and activities can be overwhelming, which is why we try our best to keep nighttime events to a minimum. Your child has worked hard on their music and is looking forward to performing with their class, and we hope that all of our students will be able to attend this event.
Many thanks,
Hannah Mackie and Ruby Caswell
