-After check in please take your child to their grade pod, and retrieve a craft. Parents are expected to do the craft with their child.

-Snacks will be provided at specified time - one per child.

-Parents are expected to supervise the behavior of their children during the event.

-If you arrive late, please enter the show quietly and sit in the back of the group. Do not allow your child to try and find their friends.

-Don’t bring electronics to the performance. The use of cell phones, cameras, computers, tablets, and video game devices are not allowed.
