Note:
Please arrive at at the stated call times.  The times we have listed are intentional.  The classrooms and wranglers are not in those classrooms until the stated call times.  If your student arrives before the call time, we do not have volunteers to watch your children.  If your child arrives early, we will need a parent to be with them until their classroom opens.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions/concerns.  Thank you!

SCRIPTS
Please turn in your scripts tonight to either Shelly Benson or Stephanie Smith.  We need to return them to the licensing company next week.  Thank you!

FOLLOWING THE PERFORMANCE
FYI - Following the curtain call, we will ask the audience to remain seated.  The Children's Chorus will be escorted to their classrooms.  The other cast members will follow the Children's Chorus out into the hallway.  The audience can then go out to the audience and greet their family, friends, and adoring fans. 

CAST PARTY/CLEAN UP
Following the performance on Sunday, the students will have a cast party in the cafeteria.    The kids like to wear their Joseph t-shirts, and then everybody signs each others' t-shirts and just relax and socialize.  While the kids are at the cast party, we ask parents to help with the clean-up of the school.  We are responsible for making sure the classrooms and gym are clean and ready for school Monday morning.  We need many hands to take down the set, return chairs to classrooms, etc.

Please be sure and have those items turned onto the school office or to Cindy Howie, Denise Hood, or Lia Hege NO LATER THAN THIS FRIDAY.

This Week's Prayer and St. John Bosco fact

Prayer

Thank you Lord for all of the blessings that you gave us over Spring break.  We are grateful for the good weather and the time to relax.  Please be with us this week in all that we do.  Help us to keep our focus during rehearsals and in school.  Open our eyes and ears so that we may see you and hear you in those you have placed in our lives.

St. John Bosco..........Pray for us! 

Fact....This week we are going to revisit why we chose St. John Bosco as our patron Saint. God often spoke to St. John Bosco through his dreams just like he spoke to Joseph.  Many people did not believe St. John and laughed at him.  As he grew and became a priest he saw that he was called to work with trouble children, mostly young boys from poor families.  He taught them about God by being their friend.

Props List: COMPLETE!

We now have somebody taking care of each prop we need for our show! Thank you, thank you to everyone who is letting us borrow items. A special thank you to all the families who made things for us as well. If you have volunteered a prop and still have not turned it in, please give it to Sandra Ritter or Tracey Wszalek by THIS FRIDAY, March 30th. Great job everyone!
