The PreK - 4th grade Spring Concert will be taking place on Friday, April 26th, in the MPGS gym at 2PM. Doors will open thirty minutes before the concert begins. Any morning Pre K needs to be dropped off in the Pre K room by 1:45PM. The theme of the concert will be patriotic and students are encouraged to wear red, white, and blue. We will also have student speakers during the concert. If a junior high student wants to watch their sibling perform in the concert they must let the office know, and sit by their parents during the performance. When the concert is over, students will return to their classrooms and parents must wait until the end of the school day to take children home. Morning Pre K students may pick their child up between the gym entrance and entrance by the office when the concert is over. If your child usually rides a bus and you are taking them home, please let their classroom teacher know.
