Join us tomorrow, Tuesday, December 13th at 6:00 p.m. for our Inaugural Winter Concert Arrival time for Elementary students is 5:45 p.m. Middle School and High School students need to arrive at 5:30 p.m. to rehearse the combined piece on stage. Each student is required to dress in something that is considered “business casual”. For example, a buttoned shirt or a blouse (an “ugly sweater” for the occasion is also appropriate), black or khaki pants or skirt (knee-length or longer), nice dress shoes. The attire should be wedding appropriate. Students can wear holiday colors such as red, green, silver, gold, or dark blue. If students do not have these colors, all black is appropriate. Students can also wear a Santa hat, reindeer antlers, red noses, elf ears, or lights (any other festive attire is welcome) so long as the fun attire will not be a distraction. Please contact Ms. Richardson with any excused absences, questions, or concerns! I hope to see you tomorrow!
