We would like to remind our
families of the upcoming Arts for Change performance evening at JVPS on
Thursday, June 14 starting at 6:00 p.m.
At Johnsview Village P.S. we are
dedicated to encouraging our students to become global citizens and to
recognize the power they have to impact the lives of others, both locally and
around the word.
In our classes, we have been
exploring a variety of social justice issues including:
·
embracing diversity,
·
standing up against bullying
·
and addressing youth poverty.
Some of our classes have
volunteered to share the work they have created in the performing arts on the
theme of social justice. These
performances include songs, plays and dramatic productions.
The students who are performing
are asked to be at school by 5:45 p.m. and will gather in the following
locations:
Ms. Noxon’s Grade
7/8: Room 223
Ms. Fisher’s Grade 6/7:
Room 223
Mr. Phillip’s Grade 3/4:
Room 222
Mrs. Wong’s Grade 2/3:
Room 220
Mrs. Khokhar’s Grade 1/2: Room 3
Mrs. Levick’s K1/2B:
Room 4
Mrs. Manganaro’s K1/2A:
Room 2
Once the students are finished
their part in the performance they will be returning to their classrooms as
listed above. Parents are asked to pick
up their children from their classrooms at the end of the evening. Please note that all the students who are
performing will not be in the audience during the performance.
We are also respectfully asking
all parents to remain in the gymnasium for the duration of the performance. We
are asking parents to limit going in and out of the gym during the
performance so that everyone can enjoy the performances by the students.
The doors of the school will be
open at 5:15 p.m. so that parents and children can have an opportunity to buy snacks (all snacks are $2) and a
raffle ticket for VIP seating during the performance. The raffle ticket winner will be announced
shortly before the performance is to begin. Snacks will NOT be sold during the
performance, as we would like all parents and children to remain in the
gymnasium during the various performances.
Please join us this Thursday, as the students at Johnsview
Village P.S. strive to make a difference in the world. We look forward to seeing you on Thursday,
June 14, 2018.
