Good evening parents!

Our fourth and fifth grade classes will have their annual joint performance April 9th at 9 am and again at 7 pm. This is the Thursday before spring break. If you anticipate your child not being here that day, please let us know. We truly hope this is not the case, though. Both classes have already been working very hard to prepare during music class, so it is important that all students are here for the performance.

As a tradition, it has been up the fifth grade class to coordinate any costumes for the show if they choose. This year a large percentage of the fifth graders are choosing to participate in this student-led, volunteer, “costume committee.” This committee will take care of whatever they decide to create during some of their recess time between now and April. Please know, we have explained to the group that this should not involve group texting threads. While some students have and responsibly use their own devices at home, other students were not using the text string in a productive manner, and furthermore, many students do not have their own devices. Thank you for supporting us on this decision. Our fifth grade class has a lot of talent and excitement for theater, music, and costuming so we can’t wait to see the show in April!

Have a great night,

Kimberly & Tim
