Montessori Holiday Program

November 27th, 2011

MCC HOLIDAY PROGRAM

Sunday Dec. 11th, 1:00 p.m. at Normal Community High School Auditorium (3900 E. Raab Rd., Normal)

Directions: (From Montessori) Take Airport Rd. North to Raab Rd.  Turn East on Raab Rd.  NCHS is on the left.  Parking is on the far East side of the school, last parking lot to turn left into…this will be closest to the auditorium.

* Please have your child there by 12:45 (making sure that they have used the bathroom first!).  When you enter the auditorium, please hand your child over to us quickly or they may never come on stage.  If they cry, we will assure them that you are close and watching but they will need to stay together with the class.

* In addition to our parents, grandparents, family and friends are welcome to attend the Montessori Holiday Program!  The children have been practicing so diligently and enthusiastically for the past few weeks.  This is such a special day for all the children (parents, family and friends too!).

Happy Thanksgiving!
