CENTRAL MIDDLE SCHOOL
Home of the "Cougars"

Dear Teachers,

Central Middle School’s Drama Club would like to invite you and your class to join us for “ A Year with Frog and Toad  kids“ on Stage at Port Huron High School’s Performing Arts Center. Arnold Lobel's well-loved characters hop from the page to the stage in Robert and Willie Reale's musical. Conceived by Mr. Lobel's daughter, Adrianne Lobel, A Year With Frog And Toad kids remains true to the spirit of the original stories as it follows two great friends, the cheerful and popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad through four fun-filled seasons.  A full plot summery will be provided upon request. 

Your students will be able to enjoy this wonderful show for only $1.00 per student. Plus I will give every Teacher’s class 1 complimentary ticket to be used however you wish. Some examples would be for a Chaperon, Para pro, Teacher, or reward for good behavior.

There are 2 Matinees for you to choose from: Thursday March 18th or Friday March 19th 2010. Both are at 9:30 am and will run (1) hour, so this production is recommended for Kindergarten and above. Seats fill up quickly and will be assigned on a first come first serve basis. Reservations may be made through Friday February 26th 2010. Just email me at mwilliamson@phasd.us When making your reservation I will need to have the following information:

I will need the name of the contact person if it is different from whomever is making the reservation.  You will receive a confirmation letter via email by Friday March 5th  2010. Check the letter carefully; it will include:  the number of seats, and their location in the Theatre, the day and date of the performance and the total amount due. Any correction may be made by emailing me  ASAP. I will then reply with the corrections. Print your letter and bring it with you as it will serve as the ticket for the entire group.Remember once you receive your confirmation letter, if there are no correction, then that will be what you will be paying.
