🎭 Join Us for Pleasant Hill Elementary’s Annual Winter Celebration!

📅 Date: December 16

🎶 Program: Narbert the Narwhal’s North Pole Neighbors
Due to limited parking and seating, we will hold two showings of the same program:

✅ 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM: PreK, Kindergarten & 1st Grade Families
✅ 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM: 2nd, 3rd & 4th Grade Families

In this musical, Narbert brings peace and kindness to a group of North Pole neighbors caught up in petty arguments—while teaching compassion through song! It’s a heartwarming story with a deeper message about understanding and patience, but most of all, it’s just a lot of fun.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you! ❄️✨
