Attention 2nd and 3rd Grade Parents and Guardians ONLY. LINK TO FORM: https://forms.gle/cTfBEZyGCSt9nkiB8 We are so excited to announce that our 2nd and 3rd Grade scholars will be featured in our upcoming Winter Program on Tuesday, December 10th at 5:30 pm! The performance will take place at Keihin Auditorium at Edgecombe Community College. Scholars will be asked to wear dark-colored pants, a plain white top, and comfortable close-toed shoes unless told otherwise. All 2nd and 3rd-grade scholars who participate will be singing in the program. In addition, scholars who are interested have an opportunity to join the dance group that will accompany some of the songs.

In order for your scholar to participate, they will need to have transportation to Keihin Auditorium on the night of the performance. Scholars will need to arrive at 5:00 on Tuesday, December 10th, in order to ensure the performance begins on time. If you have any questions about this, please type them in the form below. Please fill out the form below by Friday, October 4 so we will have a good idea of who will be participating and who will not. If you have multiple scholars in 2nd and 3rd grade, please fill this form out separately for each scholar. In the coming weeks, expect to receive a permission form allowing your scholar to participate in the dress rehearsal on the day of the performance, along with more information. We are so excited for our scholars to share their hard work with you! Thank you, MMA Enhancement Team
