Kinder News #11 January 22, 2023

 Kinder News, 


We had a wonderful week.  Here is a snapshot of the last two weeks and some important updates.  Please remember to label all clothes…it really helps!  We are also running low on emergency snack donations (gold fish, applesauce, other food donation ideas -peanut free).  Thank you for all of your support.  

  


Please remember we are performing in the lip sync battle as a class! Please let me know if your student will not be able to attend.  We are working very hard to learn the words and moves to our song.   Here is the song and dance we are using -if possible perhaps your child can practice at home!  


What to Wear:

We have t-shirts, glasses, and necklaces for everyone.  The kids can wear whatever they want for bottoms (jeans or black pants suggestion).  


Time and Place:

 Montpelier High School in the auditorium. They will need to arrive at 5:00.  The show starts at 5:30.  We are in ACT 1.


Please send in permission slips for the lip sync battle if you have not done so already.  Please email me if your child is not able to participate.  Lip Sync Permission Slip
