The Kindergarden, 1st, and 2nd grade students of the Mary J. Tanner Elementary School will present “A Beary Merry Holiday” on December 19, 2024.

The Polar Bears are throwing a bear-y big holiday celebration at the North Pole and their guests from around the world are starting to arrive… black bears, brown bears, rapping grizzlies, pirouetting dancing bears, teddy bears, Kodiaks from nearby Alaska, and more. But what is taking the Pandas so long? The wait is becoming un-bear-able. We hope you can join us in our holiday party this year.

There will be two performances, one at 10:00 a.m. and the other at 1:30 p.m. Mrs. Bartenstein, Mrs. Cotich, Mrs. Dickinson, and Mrs. Campbell classes will be performing in both shows.

The classes that will perform at the 10:00 a.m. show are: Mrs. Palmer, Mrs. Saunders, Mrs. Tomis, and Miss. Aldous.

The classes that will perform at the 1:30 p.m. show are: Mrs. Kennedy, Mrs. Silverman, Mrs. Locke, and Miss. Hahn.

Many of the second graders will have speaking parts this year. The cast will include characters such as: Polar Bears, Brown Bears, Black Bears, Kodiak Bears, Dancing Bears, Teddy Bears, Grizzly Bears, and Panda Bears. Even though the Kindergarten and first grade classes do not have speaking parts they may still pick a character to dress up as. The Kindergarten and 1st graders will be helping the 2nd graders by singing. Feel free to be creative with the costumes if you would like. The students will be working hard on this play, and the show will be lots of fun. We all hope to see you there!
