Parent Conferences - Talk Talk Until You're Blue In The Face
I make the joke, but it's been such a wonderful experience for us to get the opportunity to speak to each and every one of you about your children. Miss Bourquein and I love to highlight the amazing things your children do on a daily basis and what our plans are to make them even stronger. I want to let you know it takes work to rearrange schedules, procure childcare, and give us your valuable time. We thank each and every one of you for making it work on our limited schedule. For those of you we still haven't had the time to meet with, please let us know what works with your schedules, and we will be as accommodating as possible.

More Event Details (taken from http://queensburytheatre.org/performances/:
Transporting audiences from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, the Cat in the Hat narrates the story of Horton the Elephant, who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos. Horton must protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, and he must also guard an abandoned egg that’s been left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family, and community are challenged and emerge triumphant!
