Student Showcase Sign-Up Forms Due Monday
The Student Showcase is similar to a talent show, but less formal. All students are welcome to share with their schoolmates on the stage any performance or demonstration they wish to share. All material must be pre-approved and school appropriate. Please see the Sign Up Form for details. The Showcase will be held on two mornings during the last week of school, June 12 and 13, with different age groups on each day. Due to limited seating available in the gym, this is a student-only event. Deadline: Please turn in sign-up forms to your classroom teachers by Monday June 4th!
