Planetarium - Thursday, January 16, 2020
This year marks a new era for the planetarium. With over 40 years of continuing education for the School District of Waukesha, we are invited to experience the night sky and an amazing show at the planetarium. The classic 2nd grade level program “Our Place in Space,” is to be presented in high-definition full-dome video.
Program Description: Scarlet Macaw searches all over the world to learn something new and exciting about the Earth and Space. Themes include the Sun as a star, what makes the Sun move, the planet Earth, gravity, and constellations. She uses this information to fill in a crossword puzzle.
Lunch: normal, no change
Chaperones: teachers only
Mayo & Coffey Homerooms: 9 am
Boyajian & Zerbel Homerooms: 10 am
First Stage Play - Gretel! - Friday, February 28, 2020 @ 10 am
Program Description: Her mother is gone. Her father is absent. Her stepmother and stepsister berate her and waste all of their food. But with a gift from her mother and hope in her heart, Gretel heads into the wilderness to find Baba Yaga – and discovers more than she could have ever imagined. With live folk rock music and a style that embraces the storytelling nature of theater – this musical for the entire family is not to be missed.
Lunch: packed lunch (We will not be at school for our hot lunch program.)
Chaperones: teachers only
Cost and Permission Slip: Please check your child's folder and return to school.
