Letter from gift chair


Dear Moana JR. Families,


I am writing to ask you for your support in recognizing our Director, Kendrick Phillips, and several others who have gone above and beyond to make our show the huge success it will be.


 Each year, Ms. Kendrick, our director, works tirelessly long before the school day, long after rehearsals, on holidays, and each weekend to ensure our school production resembles something you may have seen on Broadway- choreographing and staging the show, creating the set, prop, and costume design of the costumes, teaching music, creating an infinite amount of production spreadsheets, blog posts, and communications, and shopping and meeting with vendors for the musical to help our cast and crew shine.

In addition, several dedicated staff and volunteers give countless hours of their time to ensure the high quality of our production. Those new to this experience will be amazed to see nearly 180 children, ages 5-14, come together for unforgettable, magical performances.
 
Please help honor and show your support and appreciation for Kendrick and the production staff by donating an amount of your choosing per child in the play to help purchase a Director’s gift and flowers/thank you's for all who make our kids smile and shine when they are on stage. 

Please Venmo @tmand or email me at tamaramand@gmail.com if you prefer to give a different way.

We would love to collect all donations by the final dress rehearsal on March 21st.

Thank you in advance for your participation. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

STAR WALL 
Photos were due LAST SUNDAY, 3/9! 
We will accept Star Wall pictures until 10:00 am on Sunday. 
After this time, we will no longer accept photos and will print yearbook pictures for the 60+ cast members for whom we have not received pictures. Thank you for your help with the star wall. 



By Sunday, March 16th at 10am, please send in a 4x6, 5x7, or 8x10 headshot/school picture/close-up photo of your child (only your child in the picture, please), with their name and grade printed on BOTH the back of the photograph and the envelope you submit it in.  REMINDER- The photo will not be returned, so please do not send an original image. 

You may drop this off at Sunday practice in an envelope marked MOANA STAR WALL FOR MS. KENDRICK.




SHOW TICKETS
Share with your friends, families, and community. Let's sell out all three ticketed shows!
All tickets can be purchased through our online ticketing system using the following link. http://www.seatyourself.biz/davisacademy




WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY

To minimize distractions during rehearsal, we need your help getting our cast "offline" while "on-stage." M-8th Students should not wear Bluetooth devices to Sunday rehearsals, tech week, and the shows and should leave them at home. These devices also affect our sound system. Thank you for your assistance with this.







Remember to use these resources, which are also posted under the links to the right of this blog.
