We understand that there has been a change in the Shullsburg Elementary School Holiday Concert. The change that we understand is that the 4k class along with the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades will no longer be participating in this traditional event. We would like to express our concern as students, parents, grandparents, and members of the community that this change is unnecessary and very saddening and we are not supportive of it. We believe that in the spirit of Christmas, that the Holiday Concert brings forth excitement and joy to the elementary students and should not be taken away. We believe that this tradition is one to be cherished, not removed nor altered. Personally, I look forward to this joyful event and watching all of the classes participate and, now, it breaks my heart that my spirited daughter, who is in 4k, does not get to be a part of this when it is something that she has looked forward to the last 3 years while watching her big brother. I know that I am not the only person who feels this way and for those that do, it is important that we come together and try to prevent this change. Please help us with the cause of keeping the traditional Holiday Program alive and the event that we all cherish by showing your support and signing this petition to be taken to the School Board Meeting Wednesday, November 9, 2016. Thank you for your help!

Sincerely,

Kristina Martin
