Jukebox Time Machine
It is an exciting time at Fairfield E.S. as the students in grades K - 6/7 are getting ready for their performance of “Jukebox Time Machine” on April 16 & 17, 2024. Here’s some details for you:
April 16 - dress rehearsal (open to parents/guardians - 1:45 p.m.) + Ms Dafnas & Ms McIlroy’s class
April 16 - performance (6:00 p.m.) + Ms Check’s & Ms McKinnon’s class
April 17 - afternoon show (open to parents/guardians - 1:45 p.m). + Ms Check’s & Ms McKinnon’s class
April 17 - performance (6:00 p.m.) + Ms Dafnas & Ms McIlroy’s class
We’re asking that all students attend both evening performances, with the exception of the Kindergartens - please see above schedule for performance times. Students will be asked to arrive between 5:45 - 6:00 and go directly to their classroom. The core cast will need to arrive at 5:30 p.m. The doors will open to parents at 5:30 p.m.
Admission will be by donation as this is a fundraising event for our school - cash only. Due to capacity requirements, we are asking that each student (or groups of siblings) have no more than four family members attend due to seating space in the gym. Students/families will receive four tickets the week of April 8 - 11 - they'll be coming home with the youngest/only students. You will need a ticket to enter.
We will be holding a couch raffle on both evenings - tickets will be for sale at the door - this is your chance to have the best seat (and most comfy) in the house - the front row on the couch! Cash only please.
Information about simple costumes will be coming from your child(ren)'s classroom teacher.
The students have been working hard in their classrooms and we have a very enthusiastic and dedicated core cast who have been acting and singing their hearts out! We can’t wait for you to see our show!
If you have any questions, please feel free to call the school and speak with Mrs. Diamond or your child’s teacher.
Musically yours,
The Fairfield Staff
Solar Eclipse Safety
On Monday, April 8, 2024, there will be a solar eclipse (when the moon moves between the sun and the earth). In Kingston, it is expected to be a near-total solar eclipse between 2:09 and 4:34 p.m., with the peak of totality (where the sun appears to be completely covered by the moon for a short period of time) happening at 3:22 to 3:25 p.m.
Viewing the eclipse safely (From KFL&A Public Health Website)
It is dangerous to look directly at the sun any time and especially during an eclipse. How to protect your eyes during a solar eclipse:
· Do not look directly at the eclipse at any time.
· If you want to look at the eclipse, you must use approved solar eclipse viewers that meet international standard ISO 12312-2. · Queen's University is distributing solar eclipse glasses to the Kingston community through school boards.
