Important Info Re: Christmas Pageant
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.
Below are important details and schedule changes for the morning of Friday, December 20.
- MORNING GYM CHANGE: As the pageant is being held in the Singleton Gymnasium and will be outfitted for the performance, MORNING GYM will be held for grades 4-8 in the Middle School Allen Library in Singleton Hall beginning at 7:20 a.m. Drop off will be behind the library in the Yellow loop.
- For those not using Morning Gym, regular carpool drop-off for grades 4-8 is the regular 7:45 a.m. time.
- As K-3 graders are in the Pageant, they should arrive later at 8:05 a.m. and report to their classrooms. (If you have children in grades 4-8 and grades K-3, please drop all children off at 8 a.m.)
- Doors to Singleton Gymnasium will open to families at 8:15 a.m. The pageant begins at 8:45 a.m.
- Additional parking information will be sent out on Thursday, December 19.
