Letter from gift chair

Dear SHREK JR. Families,

I am writing to ask you for your support in recognizing our Director, Kendrick Phillips, and several others who have gone above and beyond to make our show the huge success it will be.

 Each year, Ms. Kendrick, our director, works tirelessly long before the school day, long after rehearsals, on holidays, and each weekend to ensure our school production resembles something you may have seen on Broadway- choreographing and staging the show, creating the set, prop, and costume design of the costumes, teaching music, creating an infinite amount of production spreadsheets, blog posts, and communications, and shopping and meeting with vendors for the musical to help our cast and crew shine.

In addition, several dedicated staff and volunteers give countless hours to ensure the high quality of our production. Those new to this experience will be amazed to see nearly 160 children, ages 5-14, come together for unforgettable, magical performances.

 
Please help honor and show your support and appreciation for Kendrick and the production staff by donating an amount of your choosing per child in the play to help purchase a Director’s gift and flowers/thank you's for all who make our kids smile and shine when they are on stage. 

Please Venmo @tmand or email me at tamaramand@gmail.com if you prefer to give a different way.

We would love to collect all donations by the final dress rehearsal on March 20th.

Thank you in advance for your participation. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Our Shrek Village Needs You!

As we head into dress rehearsals and show week, we are seeking several parent volunteers to serve as room monitors for student dressing rooms or as greeters to direct volunteers to their assigned locations.

We especially need a few more helping hands in the student rooms to help keep things organized and ensure students are where they need to be backstage during runs.

If you have availability and would like to lend a hand, we would truly appreciate your help. Please reach out to Amy Robinson at amyrobinson82@gmail.com. 

Thank you to the many families who have already stepped forward—your support helps our Shrek village and production run smoothly!
