TALENT SHOW

EXPERIENCE GREAT PERFORMANCES AND DESSERTS

Thursday (1/29/09) is Steller’s annual “Dessert and Talent Show” (7-9 pm).
We have over 15 performances, including dancing, singing, and instrumental performances.  Along with our wonderful performances we will also be sharing desserts during intermission.  Frank and I are asking for parent help.  If you are able to bring a dessert, please drop it off in Jen’s room anytime on Thursday.

Cost to attend this event is $4.00 per person, $10.00 per family.  Proceeds help fund our attendance to the CES (Coalition of Essential Schools) conference next fall.  Thank you.
