Hello, Enrichment families!
Hello, everyone! It’s so hard to believe we are already in our final week. This summer has flown by. Thank you for making it such a success!
A few last-minute notes and reminders, and details about this week’s schedule:
Our annual Tricky Tray fundraiser will take place on performance nights. We collect various donated (new) items between $5 and $15 from families to raffle at the end of each performance night. You can continue to bring items throughout the week!
Students will be allowed to pre-purchase Tricky Tray tickets this week! Please note they will need exact change to start.
Please continue to have your student work on lines. The more they practice, the more confident they will feel on stage!

T-SHIRTS
Everyone receives a t-shirt at no additional cost for their registered session. Volunteers will also receive t-shirts for their sessions as well. These were handed out last week. If your student has not yet received their shirt, please instruct them to ask their directors.
COSTUMES
You should have gotten a small note home last week from your student’s directors regarding the costumes for their shows! If they have not gotten their items approved by staff yet, please bring them in on Monday.
PERFORMANCE PLAYBILLS
In order to save on paper waste this year, we have chosen not to print out paper playbills/programs of cast lists. Instead, we have created digital playbills that will be accessible via QR code. In order to do this, you just need to scan the barcode with the camera on your smart device to open the file. That’s it! There will be multiple flyers with this code throughout the performance area on Thursday and Friday. If you need any help, please don’t hesitate to ask.
I will also post the PDF files onto our website by Wednesday evening.
PENNY DRIVE WINNERS
Final Standings (7/22/26):
Elementary: -$190.20

Mid-High students will get to dump ice water on staff Monday, 7/27!
ELEMENTARY DRESS REHEARSAL AND PERFORMANCE
Thursday, July 30th (Reminder: Mid-High does not meet this day)
Elementary students will participate in a dress rehearsal during their normal session hours on Thursday, 10:00-12:00. Please bring them already in costume. They can report directly to their classrooms.
Elementary students and classroom volunteers should report back to the school and their classrooms at 6:45 to prepare for their shows. Again, they should arrive in costume.
Performance will begin in the Centennial Middle School Cafetorium at 7:00PM. You can park in the main parking lot and enter through Door #8. Admission is free! Invite family and friends.
MID-HIGH DRESS REHEARSAL AND PERFORMANCE
Friday, July 31st
There is no program for Middle School on Thursday, July 30th. That day is dedicated to our Elementary performance. You and your student(s) are more than welcome to come watch the elementary kids perform at 7:00PM!
Students will have a dress rehearsal the morning of Friday, July 31st, from 9:30AM-1:00PM. Please have them arrive in their first costume and ready to roll. They should report to their “group spaces” or “holding tanks” when they arrive. These meeting places are as follows:
Group A (50s & 60s): The Green Classroom (#122)
Group B (70s & 80s): The Teal Classroom (#110)
Group C (90s & 00s): The Team Room (#102)
Lunch must be packed for dress rehearsal. Students will not be allowed to leave campus or order in for lunch that day, as it will be a “working” lunch and time is limited.
Students should report back to the school at 6:40 to prepare for their performance. Once more, they should report to their group space in their first costume.
Performance will begin in the Centennial Middle School Cafetorium at 7:00PM. You can park in the main parking lot and enter through Door #8. Admission is free! Invite family and friends.
DROP OFF AND PICK UP
We ask you to please be mindful of our start/end times. Staff has responsibilities to attend to both before and after each session, including second jobs they must report to right at 4:00PM.
That said, we understand that it can be difficult to juggle overlapping schedules. If you have a standing conflict, please let us know so we can try to work something out that does not impede anyone else’s existing obligations.
FUNDRAISERS
We are a nonprofit organization, which means all profits go directly back into the program to fund our activities from one summer to the next. Your participation is important and appreciated!
Tricky Tray
Our annual Tricky Tray fundraiser will take place on performance nights. We collect various donated items between $5 and $10 from families to raffle at the end of each performance night. We do also have at least one big ticket item this year (valued $150+).
We will allow advance ticket sales in cash this week! Please let your students know that they may purchase tickets before and after their sessions. Prices are as follows:
Regular Prizes
· $1 per single ticket
