Upcoming April Performances at GWA

Here are some upcoming April performances you won't want to miss:  

Tomorrow, April 16th, there is a separate K4 and K5 performance of "How Does Your Garden Grow"---Check the times!   The costumes, alone, are worth coming to see!  Our students are ADORABLE!



On Thursday, April 24th, 3rd grade will perform, "America, the Bold and the Brave!"  and 4th grade will present, "We the People".  These are two unique programs!   3rd and 4th graders wrote their own scripts and chose which patriotic songs to include.   Most of the decorations have been made by the students, as well.   Come and let our students show you what they have learned about America!

We hope to see you at our performances!   ~Mrs. Debbie Dyer

Grandparents' Day on Friday, March 21 at 9:00am in the Nicholson Center

For Grandparents’ Day on Friday, March 21^st, my K4-4^th grade students are to wear blue jean pants/skirt, white shirt (dress code is fine), and a red bandana.  Blue jeans should be neat and FREE FROM HOLES OR TEARS.  *For 1^st &  2^nd graders only…They need to make sure they have POCKETS!!!  We will have motions to songs that require both hands, and then another song requires a KAZOO, which will be placed in their pockets.  Parents, please make sure your child has a KAZOO by Thursday, March 20th for our practice, and then for Grandparents' Day. 

Blessings,
