Week at a Glance
December 11-15, 2023
Advent Concert
We are very excited to announce the dates of our 2023 OLR Winter/Advent Concert. In order to accommodate all families in our gymnasium we are inviting families by last names to one of the times listed below. If you are unable to make the day and time allotted for your last name, please come to the other day so that you can still enjoy the show in person.
Please note that ALL STUDENTS in grades 1-4 will be performing on BOTH DAYS. Kindergarten and Pre-K students will only perform on the day that aligns with the day or time that they are at school. This is also the day that Kindergarten and Pre-K parents will attend the performance. Please note that if you are unable to attend the concert in person, you will still have an opportunity to watch and celebrate your child’s performance digitally as the dress rehearsal on Monday, December 18th, 2023 will be recorded. The link to the recording will be sent out via email by classroom teachers.
