Holiday Program

Now that the Thanksgiving holiday is behind us, we have officially entered the holiday season!  Our school will be kicking this off with our annual Holiday Music Program on December 4, 2008.  This program is organized and arranged by Mrs. Bretz, our music teacher.  She has been working with our students since early October to learn music pieces for this holiday celebration.  We are renting Resurrection Life Church for this event.  This church is located in Grandville (52nd Ave. and Ivanrest).  Please enter off from 52nd Ave and enter through Door K.  There is only one performance this year!

Students can be dropped off for the performance NO EARLIER than 6:30 pm.  We ask this for safety and security reasons.  There will not be supervision for children prior to 6:30, so it is critical that you follow these guidelines.  Once you enter through Door K, there will be signs directing you to the correct room.

Grades 1,2 and 3 will be in the Choir Room.  Grades PK, K, 4 & 5 will be in the Chapel Room.

Because the church has adequate seating for everyone, the children will be able to watch the performance from reserved seating!  At the end of the event, they will be dismissed to their classrooms for parent pick up.

Please note that based on rental guidelines with Resurrection Life Church, we have been asked as a school community to follow these procedures outlined below.  There were some facility use problems during our program last year, and I would like to outline the expectations so that all families are aware of the rental terms:

•The program will be video taped for all families.  A DVD of this program will be available to families one week following the program.  The fee for this DVD is $5.00.  An order form is on the school blog and one is going home to Y/O on Tuesday.
•NO FOOD OR DRINK is allowed in the church.

We are looking forward to seeing you at the performance!

  1. Hi Mrs Mc Donald and class,
    This is my second attempt at trying to post a comment. I hope that this one gets through! The last one just disappeared off my screen as I was finishing off , so maybe you will get two. How did your Holiday music program go?
    In response to your question;I am teaching about snails as part of an integrated unit of work. Most of my students have Autism Spectrum Disorder and I find that lessons are more effective if I teach to topics that are highly motivating or appeal to their ‘obsessions’. Our overall theme for the term is colour. Our class are really into minibeasts and they fit the colour theme well. Lucky me!
    Thanks for visiting our blog. I will check in again soon.
