Make sure your child dresses warm on this day and wears long socks to prevent blisters from the ice skates! PTO will buy a Hot Chocolate for each child on their way out.  No other snacks will be available, students should not bring money.

Students should then report to the Choir Room  to wait until showtime.   Our school performance will be December 15th, so please send costume attire to school on the 15th.
