Our field trip to the Arkansas Arts Center to see Junie B. Jones in Jingle Bells, Batman Smells has been postponed. Unfortunately the show has been sold out. However, we have already made reservations to see The Jungle Book in February. The cost will be the same. I will send you more information in January. For those of you that have already sent in your money for the field trip, I will be returning it to you. I am very sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. We are all very disappointed and were looking forward to the trip.
The entire second grade will perform the winter musical, “A Bugz Christmas” on Thursday, December 16, in the high school auditorium. There will be a daytime performance for students and an evening performance for family and friends at 7:00 p.m. The students will wear their costumes to school on the day of the performance. *Girls will be glowworms. Costume suggestions: White sweat suit with florescent orange shirt. You can take a t-shirt and spray paint it florescent orange. It will be stiff, but you can cut it out and glue or sew Velcro to attach to the sweat shirt, or felt costume made with multicolor sections.
*Boys will be wood ticks. Costume suggestions: Grey sweat suit with over sized shirt; make sure the shirt is a little big, so you can stuff the shirt to make the appearance of a tick!
*All of the specialty choir students will be lightning bugs. Costume suggestions: Black sweat suit or clothing with an orange, yellow or blue strip, and a toboggan with the same color stripe around it.
***These are only suggestions; any costume that matches the character will be great! Please remember there will be around 300 students on the stage, so no big costumes please!
