HAMPDEN WINTER CONCERT -- JANUARY 17
Our 4th and 5th Grade students are busily preparing for our Winter Concert: Pirates 2.  The concert will be held on Thursday, January 17 at Eagle View Middle School.  If you are attending the concert, you may arrive early to obtain your seats; however, 4th and 5th grade students are not permitted in the cafeteria for pre-show warm-up until 6:40 PM.  Until then, students must remain under a parent's/guardian's supervision.  Following the concert, students should be picked up by one parent/guardian from the Eagle View cafeteria -- this is for the students' safety and security.  Dress Code for 4th & 5th Graders:  Unless your student is playing a native of the island, it is encouraged that he/she dress as a pirate.  Please note: Accessories resembling weapons such as swords/guns are not permitted.  Hope to see everyone there -- Yo Ho Ho!
