Trickster  

Thank you to the parent association; we are thrilled to be hosting a Trickster is a weeklong theater residency where each class creates a short play that is shared with families at the end of the week. 

As we have 20 classes, two evening shows are necessary to accommodate everyone. 

Show A and Show B. Please see table below for schedule. 

If you have more than one child at Sam presenting in 2 different shows, please leave your outdoor clothing in the class of the student in Show A. 

Students are not to attend these evening shows as they will be watching the shows the next day and we need to allow space for families to spectate. 

Students are welcome to return to their classrooms after the first show. They will be supervised by their classroom teacher
