Christmas Concert

Hi parents!

Our Christmas concert will be held the evening of December 21st. A newsletter went home earlier this month with more information. A few things that are exclusive to our room are as follows:

Each student will need a pair of sunglasses (preferably dark) and a Santa hat. If you aren't able to send these things with your child, or happen to have extra, please let me (Miss S) know as soon as you can! (cschmelinsky@mail.gssd.ca)
Your child may have already mentioned to you that they also have the option to make a guitar to "fancy up" our performance. We don't have any class time to make them, but all the materials are at the school. Students have the option to stay in for a recess with me to make their guitars, but they may also make them at home. If you would like to help them, you are more than welcome to! If you require materials, please write me a note in his or her agenda so I can send some home. Your child may tell you that these "materials" are just cardboard, string and fancy duck tape. This is correct :) I've told them that they can decorate these "guitars" however they wish, using these fancy tapes, markers; anything. If students will be making them at home, I ask they be no more than one meter in length. (Any larger, and we may not all fit on the stage).

Thank you very much for your cooperation, and I wish you and yours a very safe and happy holiday season!

See you on the 21st! :)

Christmas Concert Lyrics

Sharp Dressed Santa

(To Sharp Dressed Man- ZZ Top)

White beard, red suit
and I know what I have gotta do
Been “good”, all year
You know I’ve got a reason why.
He’s comin’ down the chimneys fast as he can
Cause 501’s crazy 'bout that sharp dressed man

Big boots fur trim.
It’s not for me, but it sure works for him!
Black belt, Red hat
I’m gettin’ something you can be sure of that!
He’s comin’ down the chimney as fast as he can
Cause 501’s crazy 'bout that sharp dressed man.

Black boots, droopy hat,

All those milk and cookies surely made him fat.
Black shades, warm gloves,
He’s lookin' sharp and I’m lookin' for presents.
I’ve made good choices every day this whole year
cause 501’s crazy ‘bout that sharp dressed man.

Fading...
