Parents, Grandparents, Friends and Neighbors,
Please mark your calendars for Thursday, March 9th when the
1st grade and 2nd grade music programs will be presented in the
Eagle Elementary gymnasium at 6:30 PM (1st) and 7:30 (2nd) PM.
Rehearsals have begun and the students are anxious to perform for you.
The First Grade program is titled "My Favorite Things" and uses the song of the same title from "The Sound of Music" as the theme song. Other songs like "How Much is that Doggie in the Window?" and "On Top of Spaghetti" are two examples of songs that express some of the things that our first graders really enjoy and will be expressing through their songs. Students should dress in colorful outfits. Spring will be on our minds by that time and the children should be an expression of spring color and fashion. Specific colors are not required.
Second Grade's theme is "Keep American Singing" with a focus on early American Folksongs and Spirituals. Students should dress in neat and clean blue jeans or other dark pants (not sweat pants) and shirts with patriotic symbols or just plain red, white and blue. You could accent your outfit with a bandana around the neck if desired. Our songs are folk tunes and spirituals from early American history. Look around the house and see what you can find to enhance our theme. We are not looking for any specific costume.
Finally, please be looking for a paper to come home in mid-February asking for parental assistance with our program. After you consider how you might help, you can just return the paper to school with your student. We thank you in advance for your help.
There will be more information coming home later. As always, we appreciate your support!
