🎭 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! ❄️✨

📦 Fundraiser Order Update 📦

Orders from our recent fundraiser are scheduled to arrive Wednesday, December 10th (8 AM – 3 PM). Please note that pickup may not be available until the following day. We’ll send out a call on Wednesday to confirm when orders are ready.

Each student’s order will come in an individually packaged box with handles for easy carrying. Some boxes may be heavy, and some students may have more than one box—please plan accordingly for pickup.
