Dear Kindergarten Parents,

The Lincoln Kindergarten students have been working very hard on their Spring Music Program!  We are excited to perform our songs for you!  Our Spring Music Program will be Tuesday, May 7 at 1:30 p.m. in the Lincoln Elementary Gym. Guests will be entering through the gym doors beginning at 1:20 p.m. for the performance and parents and family members are encouraged to attend.

 The program will begin promptly at 1:30 p.m. and will only last around 20 minutes.  Students may wear spring clothes, and we ask that students do not wear flip flops!  This will be their first time performing on choral risers and for an audience!  

Parents may bring their child home with them following the program only if they have filled out the form at the bottom of this letter.  Forms need to be returned to your student’s Kindergarten teacher by Monday, May 6.  Students who do not have parents in attendance will take their normal method of transportation home after school. 

Please email me if you have any questions! ksanders@oes141.org   We look forward to singing for you on May 7th!  

Thank you!

Mrs. Sanders, Music Teacher
