Joy Through Music - December 14th! SAVE THE DATE

The Home Sweet Home Preschool annual event "Joy Through Music" has been scheduled for Wednesday, December 14, 2011 at 5:30PM.

Joy Through Music!
Why?
Music is a natural and important part of young children's growth and development. Early interaction with music positively affects the quality of all children's lives. Successful experiences in music help all children bond emotionally and intellectually with others through creative expression in song, rhythmic movement, and listening experiences. Music in early childhood creates a foundation upon which future music learning is built.

Who?
Children, parents, teachers and Big Friends, current enrollment and alumni - our learning community. By honoring time together, we expand and deepen our relationships. Through serving in both roles, as audience and performer, we appreciate how music grows our personal capacity for respect and joy. It is a window into knowing and being known by others.

What?
Joy Through Music is an open stage. Individuals and groups can sign up to perform. Home Sweet Home Butterflies and Brown Bears will each perform as a class. Soloists, duos or groups of any age or combination of ages are welcome to sing or perform their instruments. Please sign up with Kathleen Seabolt (kseabolt@alternativesinaction.org) by December 9th! We will organize the acts for our emcee and have them listed in the program.

Joy Through Music is a potluck dinner. Please provide a favorite family dish to share with portions for 12-20 people. Home Sweet Home will provide plates, utensils and beverages.

Parents are needed to support this event! If you feel your leadership emerging, please contact Christa Brandt and/or Sharisse Huie to get involved through the PAC Events Committee!

HOME-TO-SCHOOL CONNECTION ASSIGNMENT
Each family is asked to take a picture of their child engaging with music. Please help your child to glue this photo on to a star and post the star on our hallway board. Please make sure your child's first name is featured on their star. Proportions of stars should be about 7"-10" to feature a 3"x5" pic of your child in action! It would be wonderful if 100% of our STARS were posted by December 14th!
