You're a Good Man Charlie Brown - 4^th and 5^th Grade Volunteer Parents Requested

The chorus program, led by Mr. Ritter, will be a semi-staged production of the musical “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown.” It will be a semester-long project for all 4th and 5th grade students who will share the 6 roles equally and sing the music together as an ensemble. 

To bring this production to life, we’re looking for parent and community volunteers to help with a variety of roles — no experience required, just enthusiasm! Opportunities include:

Costumes

Props

Set design

Lighting

Stage management

Choreography

General rehearsal support

Even just having extra adults in the room during rehearsals is incredibly helpful. If you have experience in any of the areas above and would like to lead or assist with a small group or activity, we’d especially love to hear from you!

Rehearsals take place during school days

MCAS day combined rehearsals (most helpful)

Chorus will be moved on Tuesday May 5th, and May 12 to 1:00pm.

Both 4th and 5th grade will have chorus together on those 3 days.

Down Under Yoga is opening a studio in Wellesley, featuring fitness classes, wellness programming, and recovery options—an exciting new addition to the local community. See below for more information:

 Down Under Yoga Wellesley is designed as a full wellness destination—bringing yoga, Pilates Reformer, and recovery together under one roof. The studio features two spacious yoga rooms (70 + 50 students), a dedicated reformer studio with 9 reformers, and an exclusive recovery suite with a Finnish sauna, red light therapy, and cold showers.

Our Founding Membership is $199/month (valued at $240 once fully launched) and includes unlimited classes at all Down Under locations, 4 reformer classes per month, and full access to the recovery space. Only a limited number of memberships remain at this rate, and we expect them to sell out by the end of the week.
