Trojan Families, Don’t forget that our K-6 holiday concert is this Wednesday, December 8th at 6 p.m. The kids are getting very excited for the program, and I cannot wait to present a live concert again this year! A couple of reminders about the concert: -All students in grade K-6 are required to attend! This is a graded performance, and should a student miss, they will need to make up the points another way. -Students need to arrive no later than 5:30 p.m. Wednesday evening. When they arrive, send them straight to the gym to get lined up and ready to go! -Students need to wear their “Sunday best,” which means no dirty and/or ripped pants or shirts. Jeans and t-shirts are fine as long as they meet those criteria! Students can also dress up in fancy dresses or shirts/ties if they want to and it is available to them. -Everyone is welcome to attend, but all audience members must wear a mask during the concert. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Barbier at kbarbier@southconejos.com. See you then!
