All 2nd Graders will present
"Swamped"
Thursday, April 16, 2026
6:00pm in the McGraw gym
All 2nd graders need to report to their classroom no later than 5:40pm on Thursday, April 16. Between 5:30-5:40pm is best.
What to wear: If you have an acting part or volunteered to be a specific animal, please dress with your animal on your clothes or to look like your animal. If you do not have a specific animal to dress up like, choose your favorite pollinator to be.
Ideas to look like some animals:
TADPOLES...Wear green, brown, gray, or black. I will provide a tail the tadpoles can remove and turn into a frog!
Headbands with antennae...dragonfly, bee, insects
