Parents, please be sure to read the side bar as it will contain important information about costumes, props, and theatre etiquiette.

There are also age appropriate poems that you could ask your child to learn to say aloud. This helps with reading fluency, memory enhancement, elocution, and comprehension.

2 Days to Go......Tuesday, December 13, 2011

Dear Parents!

We NEED we NEED we NEED:
- more FLAGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Something easy to wave and visible.
- clipboards
- hardhats

We have enough:
- angel wings
- our horse on a stick
- flowers

To all those of you who have glued, shopped, attached feathers, made halos, searched your basements, and hunted down fluffly sheep - my sincerest thanks. The kids really do appreciate it as do the teachers.

Some students in Grade 3 have been selected to read. You're doing a beautiful job reading!

Some students in Ms. M's SK class have had their lines sent home to review. Parents - they have studied this for over a month and are ready. Just in case they want or need to see it, and would like to review, the page from the script pertaining to them has been sent home. You CANNOT have the entire script as we want to surprise you, and want you to relax and watch.

Those who have had their line sent home for review are:
Nikhil
Safi
Adi
Kian
Ohanna
Ryan
Ansh
Matthew
Shane

We are ALL (JK A to Grade 8) working hard to adjust to our smaller stage, and trying to be energetic, but are getting tired and anxious.....waiting is difficult.
Your enthusiasm will keep us going though......and we can't wait to perform.
We want to dazzle, entertain, and put all of you into a warm and fuzzy good mood to help celebrate the holiday season.

Our full out DRESS REHEARSAL will be first thing on Thursday morning! All costumes and props must be at the school.

As I anticipate we will all be just a little busy over the next two days....I want to wish all students, parents, guardians, and families a very Merry Holiday Season. May you rest, and be healthy, happy, and loved.

Merry Christmas
And Many Blessings,
Mrs. Deras
