Drama Club Registration Opens Nov 13

Calling all 3rd - 5th grade families!

Cherry Chase PTA’s after-school Drama Club will be performing Seussical Jr.. Seussical takes us into the world of Dr. Seuss, where we revisit beloved characters who teach us the power of being unique, and the importance of fighting for your beliefs. Participation is open to students in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. Registration will be open on Wednesday, November 13th at 7AM via this Google form. Space is limited to 60 students and will fill up immediately, so we suggest setting your reminders and bookmark the form!

Questions? drama@cherrychasepta.org

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for (audience)? Why should they care (benefit)? What do I want them to do (call-to-action)?

Create a great offer by adding words like "free," "personalized," "complimentary," or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take action, so consider inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"
