Grade 5: Roger Sherman Elementary School Winter Concert

Dear Parents/Guardians of Grade 5 students, The Roger Sherman Elementary School Winter Concert will be presented on Thursday, January 23 at 7:00 pm in the gym at Sherman School. All fifth graders are expected to participate in the chorus portion of the concert and all fifth grade strings students are expected to participate as well. There will also be an in-school concert for the faculty, staff, and students on the same day. Performing is part of our music curriculum here in Fairfield. The evening concert is similar to a final project for the students, and is an opportunity to show what they have learned over the previous months and how hard they have worked. As performing with either chorus or strings is a cooperative team-learning situation, the quality of our performance depends on our entire team being present and working together. If you are aware of a viable reason that your student will not be in attendance, please notify Mrs. Rock-Studer as soon as possible. As in the past, I know I can count on your support and cooperation. I would like to request that: 1- All students should dress appropriately for both the in-school concert and the evening concert. For the evening concert, students should wear a white dress shirt and black dress pants. Girls may wear a skirt or dress if they choose, but please avoid shoes with heels as they present a safety hazard on the choral risers. Boys may wear a tie and jacket if they choose. No blue jeans please, and no sneakers if possible. For the in-school concert, students should wear their Fifth Grade Sherman sweatshirt, or a blue shirt. If your family is experiencing a financial hardship that makes it difficult to meet the dress code, please contact our building social worker.
