ARCHWAY CICERO WINTER CONCERT SERIES THIS WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY
In The Cicero Gymnatorium
Grades K-2: Wed, Dec 2, 6pm
Grades 3-5: Thurs, Dec 3, 6pm
Performance in these concerts is mandatory
for all students as it is a portion of their music grades
The Archway Cicero Winter Concert Series will be here before you know it! Our Kindergarten-2nd grade concert is on December 2nd at 6pm in the Cicero Gymnatorium. The 3rd-5th graders will have their concert the following night, December 3rd at 6pm in the gymnatorium as well. The dress code for all concerts is in the Family Handbook on the school web site: Click Here - See Pg 45
Girls are not allowed to wear black and white or all black or all white dresses. Here are the Concert Dress Guidelines as outlined in the Archway Cicero Family Handbook (on www.archwaycicero.org): Boys wear white collared dress shirts (the white uniform shirt is fine if free of stains) with black slacks and black dress shoes, no ties. Girls wear a white short or long-sleeve blouse (or white uniform shirt if free of stains) with a black skirt, length between knees and ankles or black dress slacks and black dress shoes. Even though girls are permitted to wear low heels, our music teachers, Ms. McWilliams and Mr. Nardone do not recommend them. They prefer rubber soled flats since they are safer while walking upstairs, more comfortable and more silent while students walk on and off the stage. Thank you!

We can never give enough to all of our amazing teachers!
The next date for drop-off support will be December 16th from 7:15 a.m. to 8 a.m. It's the same day as the Teacher Appreciation Winter Luncheon and Snowstorm! Please contact Archway PSO President, Julie Caldwell, at [email protected] if you'd like to help. As always, your support is appreciated!
