Parents and Students,

The cold weather has arrived - students should have a coat, hat, and gloves with them every day and if they want to play in the snow they also need boots and snow pants. Dressing in layers is a great strategy.

If the windchill is greater than 10 degrees students will be outside for recess.

If you find your family needs assistance with coats, hats, gloves/mittens, please contact Kelly Sikardi at ksikardi@hscsed.org.

Wishing you well,

Brian Hofer

Southwest Principal

Date: December 19th

Location: GHS Concert Hall

Times:

K-1: 5:30 p.m.

Please have your child arrive 15 minutes early. At a later time, closer to the programs, we will share with you details of dropoff and pickup locations for each grade level. By clicking on the grade levels above, you may find folders with practice resources. Here's a rehearsal schedule. Here is the more detailed note Mr. Eckwall sent home this week.

2nd+3rd graders are invited to share with me pictures of "Elfie Selfies" to project the night of the concert.

Please let Mr. Eckwall know if you might be able and willing to assist with Concert Hall setup on December 9th, or help the night of the programs. Thanks to those who have already volunteered!

Attention 4th and 5th grade parents. Is the Sunshine Crew something your child may be interested in? Check out the video below to learn more about the Sunshine Crew.
