TALENT SHOW!
The Michael Johnston Music Studio www.michaeljohnstonmusicstudio.com is proud to sponsor the Variety Show once again at this year’s Fall Fete! Auditions for the show will be held on Tuesday, September 29th and Wednesday, September 30th at lunch time in the Music Room.
Students from all grades are welcome to audition. We will consider a live solo or group performance of any kind (musical, comedy, dance, magic, etc.) and there will musicians on hand to accompany you during the show.
Please note that once again there will be no karaoke in the variety show this year.
The show will run for two 30-minute sets, for an hour in total. That means we have room for a total of 20 performances (either group or solo), and we are hoping to include at least two from each grade.
Start polishing your act and we’ll see you at the auditions!
FALL FETE DECORATIONS!
Julie Sabine will be hosting two Fall Fete craft sessions after school (3:30-5:00pm) on Monday September 28th and Wed Sept 29 in the gym. These decorations will be used to decorate the school for Fall Fete. The sessions will be open to 40 students, but students must be accompanied by parents/ caregivers for assistance. Please fill in the contact form below (access it via the school website http://howardpublicschool.com) if you are interested in helping or attending with your children. Julie will need 5 parent volunteers for each session.
