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
