Tuesday, December 10th at 6 pm is the Preschool winter concert followed by the K-6th grade performance starting at 6:30 pm. Both programs will be held in the Heese Event Center. Preschool students need to be in Mrs. Goodman's room by 5:45 pm. K-6th students need to be in their classroom by 6:20 pm. Band students need to set up their instruments in the band room at 6 pm and then return to their classroom.

Your outstanding district actors: Nike Ritschel, Carson Miller, Rosalia Paredes, Zachery Randall, Madalyn Meyer, and Lucas Timm! One judge would have given us the best ensemble award if that was a thing. Today we fought hard and left it all on the stage. Although today did not turn out how we thought it would, this was a season of growth, and I am proud of how far we have come since our first performance. In the judges words, “it’s like a whole different show.” Our crew deserves a special shout out - without you we wouldn’t have a set to perform on, lights, fog, or sound! We also say goodbye to some awesome seniors: William Athey, Madalyn Meyer, and Larry McManigal. Congratulations on a great show and wonderful season.

Friday December 6th- Start time change vs Tekamah Herman: Due to no JV girls game and only 2 quarters of JV boys, we will start the JV boys game at 5:15pm instead of the previously listed time of 4:30.

Here at District one acts in Bloomfield we are running about 5-10 minutes behind schedule. Our original performance time is supposed to be 1:45pm. However, it was communicated that we may perform later than that. I expect us to perform around 2:00pm. That being said, we could perform anytime between 1:45pm and 2:30pm. Awards will follow the last performance of the day.

Good Luck to the One Act kids today at Districts in Bloomfield. They will perform at 2:30. Break a Leg!!
