Our Christmas Musical is Wednesday, December 20th at 9am. Our students have been working extremely hard so I hope you’re making plans to attend! Here are a few details about the concert.
1. Attire is “christmasy” (think red, green or
Christmas themed shirts. Dresses are fine too) However if your child is on the dance team then girls need to wear black leggings and a solid black t shirt (can turn it inside out if needed) and boys need to wear white tshirts with jeans.
2. If your child has a solo and would like the YouTube link, then please email me at lwinkleman@galatiak12.org and I will email you the link.
3. If your child signed up for a speaking part then they should have it memorized. Please encourage them to speak loudly, clearly and with excitement!

JH/HS parents/guardians, the part needed to fix the HS boiler is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. We will work as diligently as possible to get it installed and running. We have been circulating warm air throughout the building from the gym and JH rooms over the weekend with good results. We have come up with a plan so that high school classrooms without heat have an alternate location in the building with heat, if the classroom temperature is too cold. Outside temperatures will be a little lower than it has been so we recommend students and staff wear warmer clothing on those days. We are sorry for any inconvenience this causes.
Drama Club, the date for 8th grade and high school students to try out for Beauty and the Beast has changed to Wednesday, November 29th. 6th and 7th grade tryouts will still be Monday, the 27th. Thank you.
