Jingle Bells...

Christmas Program is December 12, 2013 @ 6:30 pm.  All students (PK-7 Grade) must report to their homeroom classrooms by 6:00 pm.

We only have 10 more days until the Christmas program!  It is so exciting and a wonderful way to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior as a community.  The students have been working very hard and are almost ready to share their performance with you.  

An email was sent before the Thanksgiving break about what students could wear.  Please refer to that email if there are any questions of what your child can wear for the performance.


PK-1st Grade

Students are continuing to work on their songs for the Christmas program this week.  We are also beginning our special musical activities for Christmas.  Students will listen to songs by Leroy Anderson and then follow along with movements to Leroy's "Bugler's Holiday".  Students will also sing a wintry poem and add percussion instruments to the stanzas.


2nd-5th Grade

Students will continue to practice for the Christmas program.  We are going to be learning about Leroy Anderson and his songs, "Bugler's Holiday" and "Sleigh Ride".  Students will play percussion instruments as accompaniment to an Irish "Christmas Jig" and playing some musical Christmas activities.


6th Grade

Students are working very hard on their special songs for the Christmas program.  They are doing a fabulous job too!  After practicing this week, we will be working on some fun musical activities for the holiday.


7th Grade

Students are working on the play for the Christmas program.  The set design is finished and looks AMAZING!  Thank you to the Sabish and Font families for all their hard work!!!!!  Students really need to practice their lines and inflections at home.  It is important for them to know the lines just prior to their own so they know when they are to come into the conversations.  There will be 2 after school rehearsals next week: Tuesday, December 10th and Wednesday, December 11th in the gym from 3-4 pm.  It is VERY important to try to make these rehearsals.


8th Grade

Students are doing a fabulous job for the Melodrama.  It is getting a little closer and I would like all the students to have ALL their lines memorized by December 11, 2013.  We will NOT be using scripts on that day.  Once we come back from Christmas break, we will be having one after school rehearsal each week on Tuesdays.  It is really important we have these rehearsals since one 40 minute rehearsal a week just isn't enough.  Emails will follow closer to those dates with specific information.
