Important Dates:

Sunday, December 13- Music Christmas Program (grades K-2^nd) 1:30-2:30 The kids will need to be in their classroom at 1:00.

Your child will have a part in the program, some will dress up and others will have a small speaking part with 2 or 3 other kids. For the speaking parts, I sent home a sheet with what your child will say. Please help your child to read this or memorize the short part. If this is your first Christmas program at OLLIS, the kids dress nicely, church clothes, some choose to wear Christmas outfits.
