The students will need to be at the school at 5:20. Preschool will meet in the elementary breezeway so parents can take children’s coats with them to the concert. Please dress your best for this occasion. Please dress in Christmas colors green, red, gold, silver, and white. Boys should wear black trousers/ pants no blue jeans please (Khaki’s are also acceptable please use your own judgment when selecting attire; dress your best for the occasion). After singing preschool students will be returned to their parents for the remainder of the concert, due to their short attention spans. All other grade levels will remain with their classes until the conclusion of the event. Please let me know if you have any other questions, Thank You.
