We are very excited to announce the Symmes Players show for 2018: Dreamworks' Madagascar, Jr! Information and registration paperwork was sent home with all 3rd and 4th grade students this past Friday. If you did not receive a copy, visit www.sycamoreschools.org/Page/2926. If your child plans to participate, a mandatory parents' meeting will be held Thursday, Dec 7 at 7:00 pm in the Multipurpose Room. Parents of children unsure as to whether he/she would like to participate are also encouraged to attend to learn about the program. Registration deadline is December 18. Questions? Email SymmesPlayersOH@gmail.com. We're looking forward to a great 21st season of Symmes Players!
GREAT GATHERINGS
Great Gatherings are get-togethers hosted by Symmes families and friends outside of the normal school routine. You can host or attend for the fun experience and help raise money for our school. They may be held at night, during the day or on weekends. Some may be just for moms or dads, for couples only, or grade or gender specific. The possibilities are endless!
All GG signups are now posted in the Symmes PTO Great Gatherings SignUp Genius group. Each event has its own tab on the site that includes the event details, cost and contact information. Cost will vary with the type of experience created by each gathering, but our goal is to have something for everyone! Payment must be submitted to reserve your spot. Please double check your family calendars before submitting payment!
