News from our performing arts program:
Dear parents,
You recently received a
flyer regarding the yearly Performing Arts fund. This fund is used to
bring excellent in-house performances to our school every year. It also
pays for our 2nd graders to attend a performance of the Atlanta Ballet’s
Nutcracker and for our 5th graders to attend a performance of the Atlanta
Symphony Orchestra. Please note: the flyer you received also
serves as your child’s permission slip to attend these performances.
Please consider
supporting your child’s arts education by giving a tax-deductible donation and
join us in making exposure to the Arts possible for your children. We
kindly request a donation of $14, but any amount will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Have a wonderful weekend and please do not hesitate to contact
me with any questions or concerns.
Ms. Pellegrini
