Santa Lucia

  Our annual Santa Lucia Festival of Lights will be Saturday, December 10^th, at the Stanton High School Gym, beginning at 7:00 PM. Grades 1^st-6^th will take part in the Festival. Ms. Schmidt would like the children to be at the gym between 6:45–6:50 PM, SEATED QUIETLY, on the stage bleachers on the north end of the stage. The 4^th, 5^th, and 6^th grade students should go to the weight room no later than 6:50 PM. It is very important for every student to participate as it is part of the music curriculum and their music grade.

  The students should wear the following: Boys: White shirts, dark pants, red vest, or bow tie or ribbon tie (if you have one) or red suspenders. Girls: White blouse, red, blue or yellow skirt, striped apron (if you have one), red tights or knee socks and floral rings for your hair (if you have one). Extra clothing items will be available in the elementary office after November 28^th for students to borrow and then return after the program.
