THE NIGHT OF THE EVENT

• Frequent e-mails and reminders about the night of the event;

• Put the date(s) in the school calendar and make reservations for using the school Auditorium;

• Draw a picture of how you would like for the chairs in the auditorium to be arranged and ask the custodians to prepare the auditorium;

• I do the event the first Monday of June and I invite all of the fifth grade families from 6:00 to 7:00 pm; and all of the sixth grade families from 7:00 to 8:00 pm.

• I greet and introduce shortly the plays. At the end of each play all of the actors get together on stage and bow, the audience applauds. When one play is over, I ask the student actors to sit in the first two rows, especially reserved for them, in order to watch their peers from the other class perform ( I have two fifth grade classes and two sixth grade classes);

• At the end of the evening, I ask the parents to help with putting the chairs away;

• Parent volunteers:

• crowd control in the hallway and making sure that the students are sitting and waiting quietly for their turn;

• design of the programs for the event
