Christmas Show Final Directives

Hello Families,

This email serves as a last-minute reminder about Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s Christmas Show.

Dress Rehearsal: All students should be ready in costume on Tuesday 12/20 for our dress rehearsal.

Some students just need to dress up while others have a costume. Children may wear their gym uniform under their costume on the day of their dress rehearsal.

The dress rehearsals are as follows Tuesday, December 20th

A Classes, 1C, and 4C from 10am-11:30am

B Classes, 2C, and 7C from 12:45pm-2:15pm

The dress rehearsal serves as a chance for elderly relatives who are unable to come out at night or handle a large crowd to see the show. These dress rehearsals do not serve as a way to get a sneak peek or another viewing of the show. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Any questions please feel free to get in touch.  

Ticket Orders: We are sold out of tickets for Tuesday and Wednesday. We are asking that anyone who is not using all of their tickets to please drop them off at the main office. If there is any issue with tickets at this point please let us know so that we may try and handle them.

Coming and Going on Show Nights: The children have been practicing for many weeks and they are expected to be present for the show on the night their class is performing. Students who are in the play should arrive no earlier than 6:00 pm and should enter the CYO entrance. They will be directed to their rooms from there. Members of the audience will enter through the main door.

For safety reasons, every child in Grades 1-8 in the show must remain in school with his/her class until the play is over. Please do not ask for your child to be dismissed early. Thanks in advance for your cooperation with this matter.

Following are instructions for the children to follow at the end of the show. When the show is over, the older children in each family should get their coats and go to the classroom of the youngest sibling. We will ask that one parent go to the youngest child’s classroom to pick up the children. Further instructions will be explained at the end of each show.

Absent on the Day of the Christmas Show: Please understand that if your child is ill during the day of their Christmas Show, he or she should not be sent to school at night for the show. With Christmas and break around the corner, we would like to try our best for students to not spread more germs than necessary. It's okay to miss the show if they are sick. 

Special Kindergarten Instructions:

1.     The shows will begin at 6:30 pm.  Children are asked to be at school at 6:00 pm.  You may drop your child off at the small hall.  Parents should then proceed to the main entrance.  The doors will not open before 6:00 pm, so please do not come early.

2.     After the performance, you are asked to pick up your child in the small hall.  Please wait until instructed to pick up your child. In order to keep the show running smoothly, it is necessary for you to exit the building using the small hall doors/ You may either leave at that time or return to the gym to watch the other classes perform using the main entrance.  You must have already purchased a ticket to the show in order to enter the auditorium.

3.     Please be aware that you may not be able to exit the parking lot if you wish to leave after the Kindergarten/Band performs in the show.  The parking lot gets very crowded on the nights of the Christmas show so, if you cannot stay until the show is over, you should try to find parking on the street in the area of the school.

50/50 and 8th Grade Raffle: Please note that on the night of the show there will be a 50/50 for each night, an opportunity to buy raffles for an Apple Watch to help support the 8th Grade Dinner Dance, and Water and chips sold.
