Mabel Padgett Fall Carnival Canceled
Hello Everyone,
I wanted to share some important updates regarding our upcoming events. Unfortunately, the Fall Carnival scheduled for October 21st (Wednesday) has been canceled. However, I have some good news! We will still have the opportunity to perform, and we will also have an additional event during our Christmas session!
- Our "Thriller Medley" performance has been rescheduled for October 28th (Wednesday) at the student assembly/Student of the Month event. We are set to perform around 8:00 am, so please come dressed in costume.
- Additionally, we will have a class on October 26th for our final rehearsal from 2:15 PM to 3:15 PM.
Our next session will begin on November 2nd. I have attached the flyer for this session, where the students will learn a delightful holiday dance. They will also march in "The Christmas in the Park Parade" on December 12th in the morning.
We have two performance opportunities for our Christmas dance:
- December 2nd at the Halloween/Christmas Carnival,
- December 9th at the student assembly/Student of the Month event. We are set to perform around 8:00 am, so please come dressed in costume.
Please make sure to register for the Christmas session today so I can finalize these performances. I have truly enjoyed being a part of your child's education and have seen their confidence grow in front of an audience. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.
