It’s that time of year again!! Our PreK - 4th grade Christmas Concert will be on Wednesday, December 4th, at 6PM in the Mount Pulaski Grade School Gym. Students are encouraged to dress up in nice clothes for the concert. Each grade will perform two songs that will have a winter or Christmas theme. Mrs. Parker’s art classes (KB, 1A, 1B, and 3A) will have Christmas art hanging in the music hallway. Doors for the concert will open 30 minutes before the concert. Please have your child wait with you until you see their teacher. Your child may then go to their designated location with their classroom teacher. Pre K and TK parents and/or guardians may pick up their child after they are done performing. K to 4 students will carry their chairs back to their classrooms and parents can go pick them up from their classrooms once students clear the gym. There will be no voting for door decorations after the concert. We will be taking pictures and posting to social media for everyone to vote.
