Reminder regarding Lessons & Carols - Tuesday, 12/18/12

Lessons & Carols - Tuesday, December 18th. 10am Dress Rehearsal; 7pm Evening Presentation in the Church -  This annual SMS Christmas tradition is a mandatory part of our students' Religion curriculum.  All students, grades Kindergarten through 8 are expected to attend this prayer service.  If an excused absence is required for an unavoidable reason, please contact Mrs. Gannatti.

Students in grades Kindergarten and 8 should follow teachers' directions regarding dress for daytime and evening presentations.  All other students (grades 1-7) should wear their full formal uniform for both the day and evening presentations.  No sweatshirts or school athletic apparel should be worn.  Middle School Students - No crazy socks or ties, please. Please make every effort to assure your child(ren)'s formal uniform(s) for this day is(are) clean and tidy.  Boys should have belts with trousers.  No sneakers should be worn.  School sweater vest or cardigan is acceptable. No physical education uniforms should be worn to school on 12/18. 

Students in Kindergarten and grade 8 should report to the lower church no earlier than 6:30pm for the evening presentation.  All other students (grades 1-7) should report to the Church no earlier than 6:30pm.  Homeroom teachers will be waiting for them in their assigned pews. 

The 10am presentation is a full dress rehearsal and is the perfect opportunity for photos.  The church is generally much less crowded and the lighting is more conducive to photography.  There is room for young guests to wiggle in the pews.

Doors of the church will be open for seating at 6:30pm.  Please keep in mind that the first 6 pews on the right side (when entering from Hopmeadow Street entrance of the church) are reserved for the parents and guests of our 8th grade students.  This is a traditional "gift" to our graduating families.  The first  pew on the left side is reserved for the family that had the winning bid at last year's H.S.A. auction.

As was the case last year, dismissal after Lessons & Carols will take place from the Church.

Save those crazy Christmas socks, ties, & hats for Friday, 12/21/12 - Mrs. Gannatti invites all students to wear Christmas socks, ties, hats, hair decor and jewelry to school on Friday with the uniform of the day.

Please remember that Friday, 12/21/12, is an early dismissal day at 12:45pm.  There will be no Prekindergarten Enrichment or Aftercare.
