2nd/3rd Grade Christmas Musical Info

Here is some information from Mr. Casebourn concerning costumes for the 2^nd/3^rd grade musical, “Jingle All the Way” which will be performed on Thursday, December 17, at 6:00 p.m. in the middle school gym.

· Santa Claus: I will provide a Santa suit; hat and gloves. The student will need black shoes and socks.

· Mrs. Claus: I will provide a “Mrs. Claus” Santa-style hat and gloves. The student will need a dress that would be suitable. A shawl or cape might look nice if available.

· 3 Children on a journey to the North Pole to find Santa; Susie, Nellie, and Johnnie: Winter style clothing such as a stocking cap, gloves or mittens, sweater and boots. I would not have them wear a coat; that would be too constrictive to their moving around and be too warm while performing.

· Elves (14): I will provide elf hats with ears. The students can wear Christmas colors for shirts, sweatshirts, (maybe even a vest) with winter scarves, gloves or mittens, sweaters, boots etc…

· Reindeer (9): I will provide reindeer antlers. The students can wear a solid color t-shirt or sweatshirt. They could even write their “reindeer name” with a sharpie on the front of their shirt if possible…just an idea, not a requirement. Rudolph will need a red nose.

· Chorus: I would like all the chorus members to dress up in winter style stocking caps or other winter hats, scarves, sweaters or Christmas color shirts, gloves or mittens, maybe even boots if possible. I would not have them wear winter coats because they would be too warm and restrictive to their movements.

Let me know if your child will need help with acquiring any costume items.

Please contact me at school, 348-0444 or through email at john.casebourn@kirbyville.k12.mo.us if you have any questions or need assistance with costumes.

Kindergarten, First Grade and MS Band to perform

The students in kindergarten, first grade and in the KMS band will be performing a seasonal concert on Thursday, December 3 in the Middle School Gym beginning at
6:00 p.m. The schedule for the evening will be as follows:

6:00 p.m. – Kindergarten
6:45 p.m. – KMS Band
7:15 p.m. – First Grade

The kindergarten students will be performing at 6:00 p.m. in the middle school gym. In order to teach the students “concert etiquette”, I am asking them to wear nice clothes and make a special effort to look extra nice. These students need to be seated with their class in the cafeteria at 5:45 p.m. to get prepared for their performance. Please take your child’s coat, jacket or other items with you when you drop him/her off. For safety, the audience is asked to remain seated at the conclusion of the program. Students will be seated in the cafeteria following the program and will be dismissed by a teacher to a parent or other authorized adult.

The KMS band students will be performing at 6:45 p.m. in the middle school gym. I am asking them to also wear nice clothes and make a special effort to look nice. These students may meet in the KMS band room by 6:30 to get their instrument together and warm up and then wait for me to come and escort them to the gym.

The first grade students will be performing at 7:15 p.m. in the middle school gym. In order to teach the students “concert etiquette”, I am asking them to wear nice clothes and make a special effort to look extra nice. These students need to be seated with their class in the library at 7:00 p.m. to get prepared for their performance. Please take your child’s coat, jacket or other items with you when you drop him/her off. For safety, the audience is asked to remain seated at the conclusion of the program. Students will be seated in the cafeteria following the program and will be dismissed by a teacher to a parent or other authorized adult.
