Dear Parents,
Third grade is practicing for their upcoming program, “ARF!” They are so excited and so are we! A note has already come home from Music class with information. This note today has specific information we need to make our program even better! This program will be for parents on Friday, March 4th at 9:30 in the cafeteria. Dress rehearsal will be the day before but not open to parents.
Students will need to purchase a shirt for this program for $3.00 each. Shirts are only available to students. We will need money for the shirt by Thursday, February 17th. Teachers will be taking shirt sizes, based on the size shirts worn to school. IF you would like your child to have a different size shirt than they usually wear, PLEASE FILL OUT THE BOTTOM of this form. Shirts will be the Gildan brand, which fit true to size. Only solo speaking parts may wear a costume. You would have already received a letter, giving ideas for optional costumes, if your child has a speaking part. Please help them practice at home so they are comfortable with their lines! Stage nerves are a real thing!
As always, please let us know if you have any questions! Homeroom teachers will be taking the money for the shirts, as well as giving back a receipt for payment. Please send correct change for the shirt, since we don’t keep cash on hand for change. No coins smaller than quarters are accepted. Thank you so much!
Thank you for your support and ARF ARF!
Mrs. Fuller and the third grade teachers
