Senior Parents. The craft/vendor fair for our class is this Saturday. Students can earn profit for their senior trip starting at 7 a.m. helping vendors unload. They will pack up around closing time at 4p.m. Students may also work concessions. Students will need to sign in and out that day with Mrs. Disney or Mr. Jones. Parents may also help to earn money for their child. Another way to earn profit is to bring a item, or basket for the silent auction. If you send an item, whatever it sells for will go into that students account. Contact Mrs. Disney-Walrack if you have any questions.

Our Christmas Musical is Friday, December 20th at 9am. Our students have been working extremely hard so I hope you’re making plans to attend! Here are a few details about the musical.
1. Attire is “christmasy” (think red, green or Christmas themed shirts. Dresses are fine too)
2. If your child has a solo and would like the YouTube link, then please email me at lwinkleman@galatiak12.org and I will email you the link.
3. If your child signed up for a speaking part then they should have it memorized. Please encourage them to speak loudly, clearly and with excitement!
4. I'm needing several scarves. If you have some that you can donate, please go ahead and begin sending them.
5. Doors will open at 8:30am
