Excitement is building with each rehearsal as we look forward to special performances for Lower School families and friends in the Sperling Gym. In order to guarantee space for everyone, parents and siblings should only attend the Parents’ Day performance at 1:30 p.m. Monday, November 25 so that grandparents and friends will have enough seating at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, November 26.
