I want to invite you all to this special night and to give you some more information you need to know. So please, read on and if you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at Hayes! Thank you and we will see you on Tuesday, May 18th at 7:00 p.m. in the District Auditorium.

7:00 P.M.

DISTRICT AUDITORIUM

Ø  The show will be in the District Auditorium at Fridley High School.

Ø  Also singing on the show will be the Early Bird Choir of Hayes.

Ø  Kids will be learning the songs in school. Each child has received a word packet that can be kept at home for practice and singing.

Ø  Each child MUST purchase or request a scholarship for a t shirt. These t shirts are worn for the concert and for the year end field trip and picnic. These shirts will be kept by the kids. An order form is attached. The cost is $7.00 per shirt.

Ø  We will be practicing the day of the show at the high school in the morning. Help will be needed that day and night for a show so if parents can help, please mark that on the attached form.

Ø  More information will be coming home throughout the months of April and May. Please take time to read these letters and memos and return forms as needed.

Ø  The t shirt form MUST be turned in by Friday, April 23rd to your child’s CLASSROOM teacher. The classroom teachers will pass the forms to me. The first classroom that turns in all their forms will get to pick their color of shirt.

Ø  The t shirt order form and volunteer form is attached. If you cannot afford a shirt for your child, please mark the spot “scholarship” and we will assist you with the cost. Each child MUST have a t shirt. This form must be turned back in by April 23rd.

Ø  And let’s see if any class can upset Mrs. Utley’s class – they are the 3 time defending champion in t shirt orders. Will it be four years in a row?!?!?!??!
