🌷Spring Celebration🌷

Tuesday, May 5th is a special day in downtown Peoria. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Graders will be performing outside of the Peoria Riverfront Museum in Peoria, IL. Each performance will take place at the "Sun Plaza Stage." Below are the performance times for each grade level:

2nd Grade – 12:00 to 12:10

3rd Grade – 12:20 to 12:35

4th Grade – 12:45 to 1:00

Your child will be arriving at the museum by bus. It is best for audience members to arrive around 10 minutes before their student’s scheduled performance time, as unforeseen circumstances can slightly affect the schedule. Anyone is welcome to attend, but keep in mind that while there is plenty of standing room, seating is limited. Additionally, Mr. Geiger plans to record these performances and compile them on a separate website so that they can be enjoyed by viewers at home.

This performance takes place outdoors, so have your student wear clothing that is appropriate for the weather and shoes that are appropriate for standing on risers. If you would like your student to wear sunblock, please apply it before coming to school.

Students will not be allowed to leave with parents after their performance. All students will return to school on the bus. An all call will be placed if plans are changed due to inclement weather. If you have any questions, please direct them to Mr. Geiger by emailing him at jgeiger@ib327.com.
