Expectations

Program
Songs, dance, poems… we will be working with Ashley, Brenda, Meghann and Leah to help create the programs. Please decide if you would like your toddler room(s) to be apart of the program.

Parent Gift
An ornament made by the children for the parents

School Showcase Space
Each school will have a table and a 10 x 10 space to use to highlight their school.  Fill it with art, pictures, decorations all that show off your students and teacher’s hard work!

Gingerbread House Contest
Each school will be submitting a staff made Gingerbread house.  Families will vote on their favorites!  More details for this to come.

Marketing/Clear Communication
Be thinking ahead. Be sure that parents and staff are aware of the event and are excited about it! Nora will be giving out invitations, along with an RSVP list.

Room Set Up

Brook Hall ballroom will be split down the middle and the right side will be set up with a “stage” and rows of seating.  There will be a space to drop off the children performing on this side.  The other side will have very little seating, Santa, food and the school showcases.

To be thinking about...

• What apparel you would like your students/staff to wear.
• What parts your staff will play in the program.
• How the children will be lined up, walking on and off the stage
