The Van Buren County Elementary Spring Fine Arts Night will be April 26th at the Douds Center Gym, and April 28th at the Harmony Center Gym, 7:00 P.M. The program will include Kindergarten, First, Second, and Third Grades. This year’s theme is “Awesome Animals,” and will feature songs about animals.
Performance Dress: Students are free to wear formal dress-up clothing, or more casual clothing, whichever they prefer. Students will be making animal headbands as one of their projects in art class. They will wear these in the concert, so there is no need for costumes, ears, tails, or facepaint.
On show night, the doors will open at 6:30. Students should use the restroom, then go to classrooms at 6:40. Teachers will not be in their classrooms until 6:40. Teachers will bring students to the gym when it is time. After the performance, please remain seated while the teachers take the students back to the classrooms. Please pick them up there.
Please feel welcome to view artwork on display from 6:30-6:40 or after the show.
