McKee Christmas Sing-a-long a hit!

12/23/2011

 
Dear Parents and Guardians,
What a terrific show! Hope you were lucky enough to be able to attend one of the Christmas sing-a-longs at McKee this week. Today's audience was treated to a FUN-tastic program of holiday season songs featuring our children. Ms. Chu lead the singing with Mrs. Charron at the piano. A hilarious part of the show was when Mr. Robinson led the audience through some gym exercises to the tune of "Deck the Halls"! Thanks to the teachers for putting this together. What a great and upbeat way to lead us into the holiday season!

SAC wishes you a safe and happy holiday!
N.B. The blog will resume moderation in the New Year with the start of school.

(1) All posts are public. When you post a comment, do NOT fill in the e-mail address unless you wish to publicize this information.  We take your privacy concerns seriously and erring on the side of caution have had to delete two entire posts as we cannot selectively delete just part of a post. Both authors have been sent the text of their comments and are encouraged to repost with this information in mind (We cannot repost on your behalf). Authors of future posts that include their e-mail addresses waive their right to privacy.

(2) Please read the disclaimer. 

(3) Please keep posts respectful of other parents and of your forum provider (McKee SAC). Constructive comments are most welcome.

(4) McKee SAC reserves the right to delete posts that contain inappropriate content such as profanity, defamatory and/or inflammatory remarks as well as advertisement. Posts are screened by a volunteer. This may result in a lag time before posting and approval (especially during work hours!). Please be patient. 

(5) Finally, the McKee SAC does not have answers to the many questions posted and will attempt to direct you to the pertinent sources where available. Please check previous posts to avoid repeating the same question.

Above all, please keep in mind that we are ALL McKee parents.
