Important Information and Schedule for Friday's Christmas Pageant (PLEASE READ)
Dear St. Michael’s Families,
One of the most special ways St. Michael’s welcomes the holiday season is through our annual Christmas Pageant, featuring students in grades K-3. We are pleased to continue this cherished tradition which started at St M in the early 1970s.
The Pageant will be presented to K-3 families in the Perkinson Arts Center at 8:30 and 10:15 a.m. on Friday, December 20, based on Lower School homerooms (see chart below). There is no school on December 20 for Grades 4-8.
- Each K-3 child is allotted six (6) guests at their designated pageant performance.
- The classroom teachers have communicated details about costumes and dress code. Please contact your child's teacher with any questions.
As this is a chapel service and our students are presenting scripture readings and prayers, we ask that you please remain in your seats, turn off your cell phones, and refrain from photography to be present in the moment and not be distracting to our performers and the audience. You are invited to take photographs before and after the program. St. Michael's will also be posting photos and videos from the Pageant.

We understand that some families may need to remain on campus between the 8:30 and 10:15 a.m. pageants. To accommodate you:
Childcare:
- We will offer staffed childcare from the time the first pageant ends until 9:45 a.m. for the families staying for both pageants.
- Children should attend their sibling’s pageant performance with their parents
- After the first pageant, children performing in the 10:15 a.m. pageant should meet the childcare staff in the PAC art room.
- Children who just finished the 8:30 a.m. performance will return to the classroom to change and will be picked up from the office in Hubbard Hall to join their siblings in the PAC art room.
- The 8:30 a.m. performers will be returned to the PAC at 9:45 a.m. to meet their parents and attend the 10:15 a.m. performance.
- Students performing in the 10:15 a.m. pageant will be escorted directly to their classrooms at 9:45 a.m. to prepare for their performance.
