GRADUATION
The
Graduation is from (12 - 1p) This event is not to be missed so mark your
calendars now! We have listed some "Frequently Asked Questions" about this
event below.
What
time do I bring my child to school on Graduation Day June 25, 2010?
We
will be following our regular schedule that day. Please be on time (between
8-9a) for drop off. June 25, 2010 will be an early dismissal day. Please
take your children home after the Graduation Celebration which will end at 1pm.
What
time does the Graduation Celebration start?
We
will begin seating families at 11a. The show will start promptly at 12:00p and
go until 1:00p. After the show ends, we will begin to set up for the Summer
Serenade that will be happening that night. Please make a concerted effort to
arrive early to find good seating (Don't forget your sun block and hats).
How
should my child dress for Graduation day?
All
children will be performing in the Graduation Celebration, so please dress them
in comfortable light colored attire and comfortable shoes. If the children have
costumes they will wear them over their regular clothing.
Do
we need to bring anything for the Graduation?
Before
the evening celebration we are asking all families to contribute at least 2 bottles of
wine and/or a 12 pack of beer. They need to be dropped off by the 18th
of June. The evening starts off with a potluck so we ask that you bring a dish
for our Summer Serenade Celebration. You may bring your dish the day before
Thursday June 24 or the morning of graduation from 8-9a. Keep in mind that
anytime after that the staff will be very busy preparing for the show.
Who
will be coming to the Graduation?
All
of our families and their invited guests. Please make sure to arrive early in
order to ensure a good seat for the show. Keep in mind that the show is only
about 45min. to an hour long so if you do come late, you really shouldn't be
standing too long.
