Parents, please have your children read the newsletters or read it with them. Reading only the paragraph addressing their group and this would be enough. Thank you!

1. Assistants & Parents
2. Costume Crew
5th grade Assistants and Parents: Please sit with the children on both sides of the wings, help them focus, follow with their script, and know when to get ready to go on stage. You may help them recite their lines or practice their dance moves, quietly.
I'd need 2 stage managers per wing to make sure the performers take stage in a timely manner. You'd do this until a Tech crew member is ready to take over this function.

8th grade Assistants: please shadow me this week so that next week you'll run the rehearsals while I'll be with Tech crew.
Thank you all for your help!
2. Costume Crew
All the skirts and accessories are cut and sowed. Parents helpers will now take over to finish the headdresses. Thank you for the great work! It has been a pleasure working with you for the past three weeks.
We are only 3 weeks shy from the performances, and it has been two weeks that I asked you to know your parts by heart, because acting is not just about reciting the text, it is knowing it so well that you can express it with your entire body.
This week is the last I can fully focus on you: starting next week I will run the tech rehearsal with the Tech crew, and you will rehearse without my constant supervision.
From my observation last week that most of you did not know your lines, I am now setting up plan B: I am offering to all performers who wish to have more lines, to be understudies of performers whom I saw didn't know their lines, or were hesitant about when to say them, or were absent.
I know that 4th graders can learn lines in no time if they set their heart and mind into it. Please check the Reference Document to see if you are offered an understudy part, or if you have an understudy. (The list has changed from what you saw last week).
On Wednesday and Thursday, anyone who does not master her/his part will see her/his role given to or shared with an understudy.
Sailors and Natives: you do have lines here and there in the script. Please browse it, underline your lines and the lines before so you are ready to say them. Please also learn the songs by heart.
Natives who still need a headdress, please come to the GLC at lunch time and meet with Mrs Jain.
This week, please wear the costume you will use at the performances. We'll take pictures for advertisement purpose.
If you have any question or concern, please don't hesitate to contact me.
