You are the future of Symmes Players!
Join us for a Symmes Players discussion on Tuesday, March 8th at 7pm
We are inviting the parents of current 1st and 2nd grade students to come to discuss what Symmes Players is and how it has impacted our school and our children. As the current parent volunteers who are Directing and Producing this year’s show will be moving on next year, the program will be in jeopardy of ceasing in 2017 if we do not find parents who are willing to help get next year’s play in motion.
This is the 19th year of Symmes Players! This amazing program was started by a parent who wanted the opportunity for every child, regardless of abilities or disabilities, to engage in a parent-led drama program. Parents and students get to work on this project TOGETHER, whether it is chaperoning, backstage, painting props, sewing costumes, or more. We want the tradition of Symmes Players to continue, but NEED YOU to attend the meeting, learn more about Symmes Players, and see how you can help this legacy live on.
Symmes Elementary is the ONLY elementary school in the area to offer an after school drama activity of this magnitude, teaching students -- responsibility, leadership, being a part of a team, self-confidence, friend-making, self-esteem, and more. Symmes Players is a one-of-a-kind PTO supported event that is financially independent, but has been providing additional funds to the PTO for several years. Nearly 1,000 3rd and 4th grade students have participated, either on-stage or back stage, in Symmes Players in the past 19 years, some continuing to pursue drama programs at the high school level, collegiate level, or at community theaters.
Date: Tuesday, March 8th
7pm in the Multipurpose Room at Symmes Elementary
Thank you!
