Winter Concert Information

2025 CES Winter Concert

Dear Families,

I am very excited to formally announce our Winter Concert!  This will give our students the opportunity to showcase what they have been learning in music class, and we hope you can join us for this special event. Details are as follows:

Date

December 15th, 2025

Time

Kindergarten - 5:00 PM

1st Grade - 6:15 PM

Location

Shepherd Hill High School

*Please plan to arrive no earlier than 15 minutes before the start of your child's concert.*  There are separate performances for Kindergarten and First Grade. If you have children in both kindergarten and first grade, you are welcome to stay through the break between the two performances.

Attire for students

Students are encouraged to wear "nice" clothes for the performance. There is no need to buy anything special—whatever you have at home that feels a little dressy will be perfect!

Sign In/Out

Upon arrival, there will be a sign-in and sign-out sheet for all students. Please be sure to check your child in and out to help us ensure everyone's safety.

Thank you for your support, and I look forward to celebrating the season with you at our Winter Concert!

Sincerely,

Ms. Grace Ahlstrand

Music Teacher
