COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS
Winter Follies- SBPS Concert
Dear Suttons Bay Families,
We are so excited to extend an invitation to our Winter Concert, this is going to be a very exciting event with musical performances from our after school choir/musical group, select High School students, Middle School Performance Arts class, and Elementary students. We want you to have the date and times of the concert now so that you can plan which performances you would like to attend. Because there is limited space in the Auditorium, we ask that you try and attend just one of the performances so that as many families as possible can attend. Any parents, grandparents, family members, or friends that can attend the afternoon concert are encouraged to do so as there will likely be more space available.
December 15th Day 2pm & Evening 7pm Performance
At Suttons Bay Auditorium
We look forward to seeing you at the show!
Mrs. Elizabeth Richards
Mrs. Jessica Vitale
Dr. Jason Peplinski
