Volunteer Hours Opportunity
We are in need of some handy people to come to the elementary campus on Sunday, December 15th, from 6:00 pm onward to help build our stage and backdrop for our upcoming Christmas Concert. We anticipate it will take approximately 1.5 hours. Please bring an electric drill if you have one; we will also have a couple on hand if you don’t. Please let Jennifer Watson () know if you are able to come out and help.
Christmas Concert Dates
Our students are gearing up and practicing in preparation for our Christmas Concert events on December 17 and 18th.

The performance will begin both nights at 6:30 pm. The doors will open at 6:15 pm for students to go to their classrooms, while guests can begin finding seating in the sanctuary. At the end of the evening, parents will need to sign out their child from the classroom. Classroom teachers will be communicating with parents on what students are expected to wear for their performance.
