The Final Run! Wow!

 Good Monday Morning to Everyone - 

What a busy weekend! The program is finished, the costumes (mostly) are completed, and the painting is nearly done. I (we) spent so many hours at the high school finishing things hard to believe four months of work is quickly coming to a close.

Please plan accordingly to collect your child in front of the high school. The sign-up genius (click here to sign up still has slots available to chaperone, feed, and celebrate with the kids. 

A couple important final announcements: 

  • If you haven't donated to Candy Grams, there is still time. Please consider donating to this great fundraiser for our program. It is our only fundraiser, so any help would be appreciated; donations can be dropped into the box in my room at HMMS. 
  • If you need to change tickets, you can, but the options for switching are dwindling as ticket sales are picking up. Please also contact me directly at: Chapmank@hartfordschools.net 
Many thanks to all who have pitched in at this point and plan to be a part of the production craziness this week; everyone, no matter your role to this point and through the finish line, is greatly appreciated!  

Cheers to a wonderful run and a fantastic show week!

With love and gratitude, Ms. Chapman/Kristen
