Easter Egg Hunt
Elementary Music Performances for the 2022-2023 School Year
Here is the concert schedule for Nooksack Elementary:
February 10th - 2nd & 3rd grade performance: 2:00-2:30pm- Done! Yay!
March 15th - 4th and 5th grade performance: 2:00-2:30pm - Done! Yay!
- May 24th - Kinder & 1st grade performance: 2:00-2:30pm
We have decided our concerts this year will be from 2:00-2:30 PM. This allows parents time to take their kids home after the performance and to clear out our parking lot in time for normal bus pick-up. At the concerts, only the students performing will be attending. We don't have enough space for our whole school AND families, but the rest of the school will have a chance to see the show during the dress rehearsals.
Watch DOGS
All Watch DOGS have told us they feel nervous about coming in the first time. Totally normal. Trust us, you'll be so appreciated. Thank you for considering.
Please call the office at (360) 966-3321 or email to set up a day to come in.
