Notes:
- Our class is performing a play called The Legend of Lightning Larry, based on a story by Aaron Shepard. Here are the after school practice and performance times. I’ve asked each student to look for things they can wear as their costume for this western cowboy play. If any family members would like to help with the set, just contact me!
