Winter Celebration of Learning

Hello Cappy Smart Families,

As many of you know, each of our grades host an event (such as Remembrance Day) or a “celebration of learning” assembly at some time throughout the year. December will be a sharing event around some of the work being done in our music classes. While this is NOT a formal concert, parents are welcome to join us to hear what the students have been working on.

To make sure that we are able to include all of our Kindergarten students, we are having two assemblies, the music will be the same at both.

Wednesday Dec 18 - 8:30-9:20 

Thursday Dec 19 - 1:00-1:50

If you will be joining us, please let your child’s teacher know so that we can have enough chairs available.

Thank you,

Mr. Bennett
