It was so nice to see all our families at conferences! Thanks for making the time to speak with us. We appreciate your time and the conversations we had to move your student's learning forward! Kids - I loved seeing you with your loved ones! I felt a lot of pride all around. :)

Winter Concert is Coming:
Our class performs on December 11th!
Grade 1-4 Students
Similar to last year, we are double casting the winter concert. Below is the list of when each class performs.Because of fire regulations and gym capacity, it is imperative that only immediate family (parents, siblings) attend the evening shows! We are counting on the honour system for this to work, and hoping it will not be necessary to start ticketing student concerts. Grandparents and other family members are welcome to come to the dress rehearsal show during the day.
If you have several children at our school and their performances do not fall on the same night, we ask that you chose one night to come. The show is the same both nights so both (or all) your children can perform on one night with the other class who is performing their song. If your childrens’ concerts do not fall on the same night, please send an e-mail to all teachers involved as well as myself (nasayer@cbe.ab.ca) letting us know which night you plan to come.
Group A: Wednesday, Dec.11 Dress Rehearsal at 10:00am, Concert at 6:30pm
1 – Granger, Samphire
2 – Thumm, Moravec, Thouin

Grade 4 actors who are in the front stage cast, as well as Clara, the Nutcracker and Mouse King are asked to be ‘on-call’ for the night they are not acting in case a main actor gets sick.
The Show:
The concert is a traditional version of The Nutcracker, featuring Tchaikovsky’s beautiful melodies and lyrics by Sally Albrecht and features a ‘front stage’ story as well! Info about which class does which song will be coming shortly. The music blog will have all this information as well.
