December Newsletter 2014
Dear Parents:
The month of December is here and soon enough it will be Christmas time. The students’ excitement will escalate as the many fun-filled events unfold at P.J.Gillen School.
The Christmas concert date is set for Wednesday, December 17th, with an afternoon performance at 1:30 p.m. and an evening show at 6:30 p.m.. We ask that KC comes to Miss. Sykes` classroom at 1:15pm. Make sure your child comes to the classroom at least 15 minutes before the evening show. The students may dress how they like for their performances on the stage, but we are asking all Kindergarten students to have a Santa hat and sunglasses for our performance that are labeled clearly with their names.
