🎄 Holiday Concert Tickets – Last Call!

The final day to request tickets for our holiday concerts is Tuesday, December 9th. Tickets will be sent home on Friday, December 12th with your oldest child—please watch carefully for them! We are excited to host two performances for our Grade 1–6 students on Tuesday, December 16th; 1:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Students are expected to participate in both performances, even if families do not have tickets, as the show truly comes together when the whole class is present. For the evening performance, please drop students off at the front doors, where they will go directly to their classrooms. Families may return approximately one hour later for pickup or if you have tickets for the evening performance, can go directly to the gym.

We are also delighted to invite families to our Kindergarten Holiday Concert on Wednesday, December 17th at 9:00 a.m. Families may begin entering the gymnasium immediately after morning drop-off using the parking lot entrance. Due to space limitations, we kindly request that no more than 4 family members attend the Kindergarten performance.

PLEASE FILL OUT ONE FORM PER FAMILY BY Tuesday, December 9th for the morning performance (Kindergarten).
