Talent Show Sign-Ups

Student Performers Needed - paper sign-up sheets will be posted at the school Nov 25.  We all know Tennyson students LOVE to perform and have loads of talent ... 
  • Each student is limited to one individual and one group performance (due to time constraints, this will be strictly enforced)
  • Recorded music will be faded-out after 3 minutes - if you are singing along with a piece, plan a stopping point at 3 minutes
  • Acts must be rehearsed - improvised dancing will be saved for the "Dance Party" songs that are open to everyone
  • Sign-up is first-come-first-served and usually fills up early. Sorry, no late entries (schedule to keep to!)

Volunteering (Gr 6 Quebec Parents)

We need all Grade 6 parents to help! Use the button on the right:
Parents of Gr. 6 students MUST sign up but other parents will not be turned away!

Baking donations are requested, and are in addition to the volunteering. Thank you.
