Help Save the Musical! For several years Champlain Elementary School has had a student musical that has provided enrichment, fun and pride in our students! For the past few years the musical was administered and paid for by the After School Program. Due to structural changes in that program, After School can no longer provide that service for us. So, a group of concerned and willing-to-work teachers and parents needs to mobilize to make the musical happen. If you have a bit of time and are interested in helping out, please consider joining the musical committee! Get in touch with our PTO Co-President Parm Padgett (parmpadgett@gmail.com) or 233-6429. THANK YOU!!!! Please come to our first planning meeting Thursday 9/18 at 2:00 pm. If you are interested but can't make this meeting, please get in touch with Parm Padgett (parmpadgett@gmail.com) or 233-6429. THANK YOU!!!
