Fourth Grade Skits

The children are working on skits to perform to the school and to

groups for performing. The dates for the skits are as follows:

Wednesday, June 2nd 8:45 a.m.

Dinosaur Family – Group I


• Savannah, Scott, Alora, Hunter, Soleil, Rebekah, and Max

Bremen Musicians

Thursday, June 3rd 8:45 a.m.

Dinosaur Family – Group II
