Winter Concert: A Pirate Christmas
This year we will be performing a school wide musical: A Pirate Christmas.
Christmas is approaching, and the elves are exhausted and tired of the cold! A few days of rest and relaxation in the warm island sun is just what they need…snorkeling, collecting seashells, building sand castles, catching a wave behind that huge pirate ship…What? Pirates? Arrrr! Ahoy, mates! Get ready for one mighty adventure when the legendary White Beard (Santa) and the elves teach a salty crew of colorful scallywags all about true treasure.
Schedule:
Our musical will have two matinee and evening performances: Wednesday December 11th at 1:30pm & 7:00pm and Thursday December 12th at 1:30pm & 7:00pm in the school gymnasium. Students should arrive at the school at 6:30 pm in their classrooms for evening performances. Please see the schedule below to see which night(s) your child’s class will be performing. It is important that all students attend their performance night as this is a culmination of their classroom work, and every child is important in their class performance.

Costumes:
Students will be required to bring their performance clothing to school by Tuesday December 10 in a bag labeled with the student’s name. In addition to their performance clothing, teachers will be adding various costume props to make students look festive. If parents are unable to send their child to school with the appropriate costume, please try your best to match shirt and pant colour as close as possible. This year students will be walking on the stage without shoes to keep the disruptive background noise to a minimum; please have your child wear easy to remove shoes the day/night of their performance. If you have further questions please see Mr. Yanko.
