SJB Christmas Program is Thursday at 7 pm
The annual Christmas Show is set for Thursday night in the church at St. John the Baptist.
At 6:30 pm, the school doors will be opened, and students and teachers will gather in classrooms.
At 6:50 pm, teachers will lead students to the gym and line them up for their procession into the church.
At 7 pm, the show will begin.
At about 8 pm, after the show, families are invited for cookies in the gym.
Children in preschool to 3rd grade should be picked up from their classrooms. Children in upper grades may meet their parents in the gym.
Program Notes:
- A rehearsal matinee performance, historically popular with grandparents, will begin in the church at 10:30 am on Thursday. Children should come to school in their regular uniforms for the matinee, but they should wear their costumes for the show on Thursday night.
- A video of the Christmas show will be made available for free to all SJB families.
- Dropping off a coat to reserve a seat in the church isn't an option. Unattended coats or belongings will be collected and hung up in the church closet.
