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.

The Sperling Gym is always a tight squeeze during this special event with guests even crowding doorways. Please be mindful of other Lower School families by bringing no more than four grandpaents or special friends as well as by watching your child's performance on Parents' Day, Monday, November 25.
 
Seating on both days will be color-coded with hearts to help you find the best side of the gym to watch your child. We encourage guests to select seating corresponding to the youngest child’s class.
