Important Information
The children have been rehearsing their lines and songs with Mr. DeVries, and now it’s time for the show! On Tuesday, during school, we are going to have a dress rehearsal. Children should wear their uniforms to school, and bring their costumes to change into. On Tuesday night, I’m pretty sure Mr. DeVries wants the students to arrive at school in their costumes and be in our classroom at 6:40. If there is a change of plans, he will let you know. IT is going to be a great show! If you have any questions, please contact Mr. DeVries at [email protected].
