Veterans Day Graphic

Dear Parents,

Kindergarten is performing in the North Desoto Lower Elementary Gym on Friday, November 8, 2024 at 8:15 a.m.  This performance is in celebration of Veterans Day. Parents and other family members are invited to our school for this performance. Please sign in on the clipboards when you enter the gym. There will be time after the performance to take pictures with your child. Your child may wear a red, white, and blue “patriotic” outfit of their choice. Please no hats or tall headbands because this will cover up other performers' faces. Guests can park in our school’s parking lot or the bus parking lot. Please contact me through Rooms message or email if you have any questions. Students will perform for the school on Monday, Nov. 11 at 8:15 a.m. Students will wear normal school uniforms for this performance. 

Sincerely, 

Mrs. Tara Brawley, Music Teacher at NDLE
