Dear Parents and Guardians (grades 5-8),
As was indicated last week during the Back to School Night for grades 5-8, St. Peter School will be putting on its first Spring Musical- or at least its first musical in quite some time. The 2018 show will be
Annie Jr., and we would like to provide important information about the show, expectations, and the establishment of our new club,
The St. Peter Performers.
For those who are interested, you should take a few minutes and read the following documents to better understand the nature and scope of our new performing arts program. Our hope is to build an excellent program that allows students the freedom to explore the performing arts and all the great benefits that it can bring to ensure a well-rounded education for your child. We are truly blessed to have Mrs. Pearson's experience and knowledge in this domain.
We are still working out important details regarding the show. However, performances will be Thursday May 9th through Saturday May 11th and will likely be in the Merchantville Public School Auditorium (this has not been confirmed yet but we are pursuing this option at present). You can read additional information relating to auditions, rehearsals, etc. in the links below.
Perhaps the most important item right now is that we will be holding a
parent committee meeting on
Wednesday, October 3, at 6:30 PM in the Art Room. It is critical that we form a core group of parents who can oversee many of the supporting activities that go along with a school musical. Our hope is to have a good number of parents support Mrs. Pearson in this endeavor- which is for the sole benefit of our children. We also feel that such committees are also very useful in building a strong sense of community among our parents, as they get to know each other well in the process! This could really be a lot of fun for everyone- teachers, parents, and students!
St. Peter Performers
Annie Jr.
We are truly delighted to be able to offer this program this year and hopefully it will be the beginning of a wonderful new tradition at St. Peter!
Sincerely,
Mr. Saffioti
