Dear OFE Family and Friends,
Due to this evening’s performance being canceled because of the weather, a previously scheduled high school concert on Monday evening, and limited availability before winter break, we will be rescheduling the 3rd–5th grade music programs to take place during the school day on Tuesday, December 23, at the MS/HS in the Auditorium.
Program Times
3rd Grade: 12:30 p.m.
4th Grade: 1:15 p.m.
5th Grade: 2:00 p.m.
We understand this is short notice and may create challenges with work schedules. Our goal is to ensure students still have the opportunity to perform before our scheduled break, as they have been working extremely hard. For families who are unable to attend in person, the programs will be live-streamed and recorded.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause. If your child will be unable to participate, please notify Ms. Monk as soon as possible, as it is important for us to reassign student parts in advance.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support of OFE.
