Music Concert: We are excited for our Music Concert on May 6 (12:15 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.) at New Dundee Public School! Our students will be performing the songs they wrote, produced, and recorded last fall with Katherine Wheatley. Due to limited number of seats available, we would like to determine how many families are planning on attending and the number of chairs that need to be set up. We are limited to the number of chairs permitted in our gym which is 220. Please fill out the survey to help us plan for this event.
