The students and teachers have been hard at work preparing a beautiful program for our annual Multicultural Festival at Calabash next Thursday, June 1st and Friday, June 2nd. We are excited to welcome parents onto campus for the performances, which will begin at 8:30AM in our Main Quad/Checkerboard area, and run for about an hour. Each student will perform on both days, in a grade-level routine and in a whole-school finale dance.
The Thursday performance will be professionally recorded by Calabash parent and professional videographer Lee Diskin. PTO will be selling a digital video recording for $25. Details are below.
A few important notes and reminders for our families:
Please see any emails from your room parents and/or teachers about the requested attire for your grade level. Students should come to school dressed in that attire on both Thursday and Friday. We would love to see 100% participation in this!
While students will perform on both days, the audience is divided by grade level due to limited space. Parents whose oldest child at Calabash is in grades 3-5 are invited to attend on Thursday, June 1st, while parents whose oldest child is in grades TK-2nd are invited to attend on Friday, June 2nd. If you are unable to attend on your invited day, please contact calabashptopresident@gmail.com.
Limited seating will be available for the performance, including reserved seating as a thank you for our yearlong safety valet volunteers. Standing room will be available as well.
We kindly request respectful video/photo-taking. We understand all parents would like to get the perfect photos of their little one(s). However, parents rushing forward mid-show, blocking others' views, or creating their own 'front row' by sitting in front of our lines of chairs causes problems for others and can disrupt the space needed for teachers/dance instructors to guide the students through their performances. By splitting the performance over two days, we hope to allow everyone a better view of their child and appreciate your help treating others with kindness. Thank you!
Entry for parents coming to campus for Multicultural Festival will be at the Deseret Drive gate, between the staff parking lot and the outdoor classroom, in order to keep the main gate clear for student entry in the morning. We anticipate the Deseret gate opening to parents around 8:15AM. Please wrap the line toward the back of the campus, rather than blocking the staff parking lot.
