School Musical: Our Artist in Residence Gill Chater is asking that anyone with sewing or creative skills meet her this Tuesday, Jan 19 at 2:48 PM in the Multi-Purpose room for a planning meeting.
Ms. Chater has provided us with a list of props that will be used in the play and we are in the process of transferring that to an online list where families can go to see what is needed and volunteer to provide it. Stay tuned for a future announcement with details.
