Week of April 16th
Day of Drumming- April 18
(during encore time)  We’ll enjoy a special presentation and have fun with drums!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM THE PRESENTER TO PASS ON TO PARENTS:
“Participants will need NOT to wear skirts/dresses that day…because they will have a drum between their legs.  No plastic/metal hand jewelry like rings, watches and bracelets either.  If they forget, I will be doing hand-checks as they enter the drum circle.  Each drum has a goat skin on it and can be damaged with jewelry.”


3 Piggy Opera
April 26 – 6:00 pm &
April 27 – 8:45 am
First Grade students are currently preparing for their performance
“3 Piggy Opera.” Please mark your calendars for this wonderful event!  The performance will include songs, acting and narration.
This project is a combined effort with the First Grade teachers as
well as the Encore teachers. Students will experience crosscurricular learning in art, music and library.
VOLUNTEER PROJECTS
We need parents too! Volunteers will be needed to assist with the
stage decoration (creating a backdrop and decorating the pig houses) as well as hanging art work and other projects to make the performance run smoothly. Please e-mail Mrs. McArthur (angelia.mcarthur@southlakecarroll.edu) if you are available.
Thanks so much for your assistance and support!
Report cards will go home on Friday the 20th.  Please return the signed hard copy and envelope on Monday.  Thank you!
