Dear Parents:

Your children have begun working on a musical presentation they would like to present both in-school (morning) and also for family and friends (evening) on April 12, 2017 (see details below). Our presentation will be titled “The Earth We Love” and will be based on songs about places on our earth and also how we need to take care of our earth, all ideas that will be celebrated on Earth Day, (4/22/17). Please mark your calendars!

Students will not need to buy any special clothing for the presentation. They will wear their classroom teacher colored t-shirts.
