Your child's first grade performance is quickly approaching. Just in case you deleted the email from the specials teachers, we are including the information below:

Dear 1st Grade Families,

Your child will be performing, Thursday, April 11 at 6:00 pm, in our 1st grade performance "Movie Magic".  Your child will be learning one of three dances and there will be an opening and finale that all 1st graders will perform as a group.  This will all be worked on during their Specials' class time.

Please mark your calendars with the date. 

The three performance groups are as follows in order that they will perform:

Mrs. Alvarado – “A Friend in Me”  Here is a link with costume ideas.(Please reach out to me if you need assistance with this.)
