Upcoming Events
Hemenway Variety Show: March 31st
Congratulations to all the talented kids who have signed up to perform as a group act, solo act, Join the Act, or MC at the annual Hemenway Elementary School Variety Show! Emails have been sent with a lot of detailed follow up information so please be on the lookout for those. The deadline to submit an Act Form has passed so we have closed the form (we have about 40 acts in the show this year!). And if you didn't sign up, we welcome you to come and watch the show and cheer your fellow students on.
Variety Show Tickets are ON SALE now! Click HERE to purchase.
The cost is $5 each plus fees. You do NOT need to buy a seat for your student performers as they will have a seat in the performer section. See you at the show!
Important Next Steps:
Join the Act Rehearsal Schedule: Final two after school rehearsals will be held Wednesday, March 22nd and 29th from 3:30-4:45. Emails have been sent to the parents of these participants. Do not forget to pack an extra nut-free snack for those days.
Volunteers for Join the Act, Dress Rehearsal and Showtime: This Signupgenius is completely full so thank you to our volunteers! If you have not already done so, please get your CORI form into the school ASAP so that it can be processed in time for the show. If you are not sure if yours is still current, you can email or call the school office staff.
5th Grade Parent Act: Traditionally, the 5th grade parents are invited to participate in a hilariously fun-filled song and dance act to amuse our 5th graders! Please sign up HERE to join in the fun! Rehearsals have begun and there are two more from 6:30-7:30pm on Sunday, March 19th and 26th. Videos of the dance are also available if you cannot make it to each rehearsal. Contact j9persechini@gmail.com with any questions.

Teacher Appreciation Cookie Drive
Show the Hemenway Teachers your appreciation with a sweet treat! Please consider baking or buying 2-4 dozen cookies and send them to school with your child on Tuesday, March 28th. A member of the PTO will be at school that morning to collect the cookies and arrange a table in the teacher’s lounge for teachers to make a bag of cookies to enjoy.
Please make sure to indicate if the cookies contain nuts.

Thank you!
Big Joe the storyteller entertained the kids with multicultural stories and the children got to dance to music from different parts of the world. Thank you again to all the participating families and volunteers for making this wonderful event possible. We couldn't have done it without you.
