2022 Christmas Program Information 

We are excited about our upcoming Christmas programs. The students have been working hard to learn their songs and speaking parts. We can’t wait to share them with you!

The dates and times for the performances are as follows:

• PK3, PK4, Kindergarten and First Grade students will present their program for the parents on Thursday, December 15th at 12:45 p.m.
• The Second, Third and Fourth Grade students will present their program for the parents on Thursday, December 15th at 2:00 p.m.  

Both programs will be in the school auditorium. Information will be sent out on December 1, 2022 regarding seating for the Christmas Program. As your children are preparing for these programs, please help them memorize their song lyrics and speaking parts, if they have one. All songs and speaking parts need to be memorized. There will not be a screen with projected lyrics. Each grade level has a Google music classroom where the songs and recordings are posted for students to practice outside of music class.  

Please see this letter from our Music teacher Carol Crittenden regarding student attire and other additional important information about the Christmas Program. Thank you for your support. We are looking forward to two fabulous Christmas programs!
