Field Trip

Permission forms have gone home for the art field trip.  As part of our theatre arts study the classes will be attending Springfield Little Theatre's production of "The Little Mermaid, Jr.". We will eat lunch at school and head to the theatre at 10:30.  The show will run 11:15-12:15. We should be back at school by 12:45.  We will study set design, costume design, lighting, make-up, music, and dance. This is always a favorite unit for the students. Please sign the permission form and send back to school with the payment.  The $6.00 will cover the bus, gas, driver, and ticket. Students will be working on designs to send to the theatre for display.
