Pasta Feed and Musical Revue
Our annual Pasta Feed and Musical Revue is coming up on Saturday, April 13. This is an amazing night that features the music our students have been practicing all year with Mr. Andrew. The show itself is free and will run from approximately 5 – 6 PM. This will be followed by our Pasta Feed, from approximately 6 – 8 PM. Pasta dinner tickets are now on sale and can be purchased in the office or by using this link:

Tickets will also be on sale after school next week Monday, April 8 – Wednesday, April 10. We hope you and your family can make it for this wonderful event!
Pasta Feed Performance Information
If you and your child are planning to attend our amazing Musical Revue and Pasta Feed, we ask that you have your child there by 4:45. Please stay with your child until you see your child’s teacher. Students will sit at the front with their class. This year we are trying to capture our theme of “Let Your True Colors Shine” by having each class wear a specific color. The color assignments are as follows:
TK and K – red
1st – orange
2nd – yellow
3rd – green
4th – blue
5th and 6th – purple
If your child does not have their class color, don’t worry, it is most important that they are able to participate in the beautiful singing.
Yearbook
It’s hard to believe that we are so close to the end of another school year. Want to remember all the great moments from this year in images? Then you should order a yearbook! Yearbook order forms are being sent out in Friday Folders (and is attached here). Yearbooks are $18 each and orders need to be placed by Thursday, April 25.
Spirit Day
Get ready for another awesome Dunham Spirit Day! Next Wednesday, April 10 is “Around the World” day. Your child can wear outfits that represent a different culture or can wear travel shirts they’ve acquired from different places in the U.S. or world.
