Trojan Express
Christmas Concert
Postponed to January 13, 2022
6:30 p.m.
Dear Parents,
Out of an abundance of caution and with student absences, we are going to reschedule the Trojan Express Christmas Concert to January 13, 2022.
They all have worked so very hard and are so excited about it, so I have decided to postpone it rather than cancel it all together. This way everyone will hopefully be well and we can still perform.
I will send a reminder letter home the first week in January. So, mark your calendars now for Tuesday, January 13, 2022 at 6:30 p.m. Please join us for an evening of fun songs and dance!
Singfully Yours,
Mrs. Laurie O’Brien

Dear Parents,
Due to several students being in close contact with a student that has tested positive for COVID, we are going to reschedule the 3rd grade Christmas program to January 11, 2022.
They all have worked so very hard and are so excited about it, so I have decided to postpone it rather than cancel it all together. This way everyone will hopefully be well and we can still perform.
I will send a reminder letter home of parts and important information the first week in January. So, mark your calendars now for Tuesday, January 11, 2022 at 6:30 p.m. Please join us for an evening of fun songs and a lesson in humility, respect and the importance of education!
Singfully Yours,
Mrs. Laurie O’Brien
