Dear Families,
We are excited to share that our upcoming school musical, Let’s Walk Together, is just around the corner! This special performance celebrates the idea that every student is unique and valued for who they are. Through music, movement, and storytelling, our students will highlight the importance of individuality and community.
As part of this theme, students are invited to dress in a way that represents their personal interests or hobbies. This could include activities such as baseball, basketball, softball, music, art, or anything else that reflects what makes them unique. We encourage creativity and self-expression!
Please note the following important dates:
Dress Rehearsal: Monday, May 4 - for our 3rd grade students
Family Performances: Friday, May 8 at 1:45 p.m. and Monday, May 11 at 9:30 a.m.
We look forward to seeing you at one (or both!) of our performances as we celebrate our students and the message of walking together while embracing our differences.
Thank you for your support!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Bushong, Mrs. Koerner, and Ms. Moersfelder
