Jack and the Bean Stalk

The List is up outside my classroom.

Remember we rejoice with the kids who got roles and we don't make anyone feel bad about their parts! It's OK to feel a little down if you didn't get a part that you wanted; but shake it off, and remember you are part of this company and every single person is important in this production!
I will see you on Wednesday in MY CLASSROOM for music rehearsal. If you have lines, start memorizing because we only have ONE MONTH!
