Thursday's concert information
Thursday morning at 10am; and a second one at 7pm.
Please keep your children with you until 6:30pm on Thursday evening. The classrooms will be open at 6:30pm.
Students are expected to attend both concerts per Mrs. Pollman’s instructions.
Students are to wear dress up clothing. The boys can wear dress shorts, but they cannot be very short. They are to wear their dressy clothing for both concerts. It is ok for the 2nd graders to come in their dressy clothes, but bring their uniform to change into after the concert in the morning. (This will help keep their dressy clothes clean.) This is only a suggestion.
If you have any questions please contact Mrs. Blansett
