Greetings Parents and Guardians!
How crazy is it that the Christmas Season is almost upon us? This year has flown by at record speeds! The students and I have been preparing for our annual Christmas Program since last week.
This year, we will be performing A Star is Born! A Star is Born! is a collection of songs, stories, and acting that plays homage to the birth of our Savior! This is the first year that our show has been written by students! We are very proud of Sofic Cetz and Steven Ontiveros, who wrote our script.
THE CHRISTMAS PROGRAM, OR A STAR IS BORN!, AS WE WILL NOW CALL IT, IS ON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2016 AT 6:30PM IN THE CHURCH. STUDENTS NEED TO BE IN THEIR CLASSROOMS AT 6PM THAT EVENING. It is imperative that they show up on time! PLEASE BE PUNCTUAL AND ON TIME! Students will receive a grade for this performance, so encourage them to do their best!
Following the performance, there will be cookies, hot chocolate, and coffee for sale, so please bring some cash! All proceeds will be put toward our Theatre Arts Program!
I have attached a flyer about the performance along with two pages detailing costumes for the students. Please find what grade your student is in and read the descriptions. The students in K-7 will not need to bring their costumes until the night of the actual performance. Please have them dressed and ready to go! The students in 8th grade that are acting should bring their costumes in by Monday, December 12, 2016, so we can rehearse with them.
I am looking forward to seeing you all at A Star is Born! If you have any additional questions, please feel free to email me!
Thank you for your continued support!
