Week of April 9
We hope you had a wonderful long weekend!!!

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!
Please…  send only healthy snacks for your child.  Crackers, fruit, and veggies are suggested rather than chips and cookies.  Also- anything that requires a spoon needs to be sent with lunch. Thanks so much!
