At Mitchell Elementary School Gym

There will be 2 separate performances to assure that we have ample seating in the gym for everyone who would like to attend.  The 1:30 performance  will be short and will include students in the following classes: Ashenberg, Gale, Kendall, Pemberton, Reichert, Reiser, Richards, Rostermundt, and Zelinski.  The 6:30 performance will include students in the following classes: Carson, Germain, Hansen, Hart, Leal, Nowak, Franz and Vasta. 

All students in the 6:30 performance should be at Mitchell no Later than 6:10 to ensure that we are ready to start on time. 

Because this is a performance, students are required to dress nicely.  Khaki, dress, or black slacks would be a great choice with a polo, button up dress shirt, or blouse.  Dresses and skirts are welcome as long as they are knee length.  Heels for girls are OK as long as they are comfortable and easy to walk in.  Keep in mind, students will be standing on platforms or risers. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
