performance for all families at 6:00pm.

Parents are asked to have their children at the school by 5:45 so we can prepare for the performance.  Students will have the opportunity to show you what they have learned in the 8-week program!!  We will not be giving out tickets for this event, but rather, if you could please email Ms. Watts (bwatts@sjsd.net) and let her know how many people will be attending the evening performance, we will make sure there are enough chairs for everyone!  Thanks and we can’t wait to share with you what we have learned!!!!  J
